Rapid growth at exponential ration occurs in which phase of bacterial growth:
Correct answer: B. Log phase
- A. Lag phase
- B. Log phase
- C. Stationary phase
- D. Death / decline phase
Explanation
During the log phase, bacteria divide at a rapid and relatively constant rate, producing exponential population growth. The common alternative is the lag phase, but cells mainly adapt and synthesize enzymes there rather than multiplying rapidly.
