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.
