Neco Model Questions Vol1 2020 Biology Question 26
Practice objective / multiple choice question 26 from the 2020 Neco Model Questions Vol1 Biology examination.
A bacterial culture inoculated with \(2 \times 10^{6}\) cells grows to \(5.12 \times 10^{8}\) cells in 6 h under optimal temperature. Under a different temperature the same inoculum reaches \(1.28 \times 10^{9}\) cells in 8 h. Assuming exponential growth described by \(N = N_{0} 2^{t/t_g}\), where \(t_g\) is the generation time, calculate the ratio \(\frac{t_{g\,(new)}}{t_{g\,(optimal)}}\). Express your answer to two decimal places.
