Title: Suppose the population of a certain bacteria in a laboratory sample is 100. If it doubles in populat Post by: bio_man on Sep 17, 2021 Suppose the population of a certain bacteria in a laboratory sample is 100. If it doubles in population every 6 hours, what is the growth rate? How many bacteria will there be in two days?
Solution: 0 ... 100 6 ... 200 12 ... 400 18 ... 800 24 ... 1,600 After the first 24 hrs., there are 1 600 bacteria. 30 ... 3,200 36 ... 6,400 42 ... 12,800 48 ... 25,600 After 48 hrs. (2 days), there are 25 600 bacteria.
