Question 1
During a study, a biologist tracks a bacterial culture that starts with 2,500 cells. They find it grows to 80,000 cells in 4 hours. Calculate the generation time and specific growth rate.
💡 Hint: Break the problem into steps, calculating n first.
Question 2
If a pathogenic bacterium has a generation time of 20 minutes and is found in an infected person at a count of 1,000 cells, how many cells would be present after 2 hours?
💡 Hint: Calculate the total doubling periods in the timeframe given.
