Neco Model Questions Vol1 2017 Biology Question 13
Practice objective / multiple choice question 13 from the 2017 Neco Model Questions Vol1 Biology examination.
A bacterial culture starts with \(2\times10^{6}\) cells. After 3 h the count is \(1.6\times10^{8}\) cells, and after a further 2 h (i.e., at 5 h total) the count reaches \(6.4\times10^{9}\) cells. Assuming exponential growth \(N = N_{0}\,2^{t/g}\) where \(g\) is the generation time (h),\n\n(a) Determine the generation time during the first 3 h interval.\n(b) Determine the generation time during the second 2 h interval.\n(c) Using the average generation time of the two intervals, predict the cell number after 8 h total culture time. Give your answer in scientific notation to two significant figures.
