For bacterial growth in a cell culture, growth law is very similar to the law of radioactive decay. Which of the following graphs is most suitable to represent bacterial colony growth ?
Where N - Number of Bacteria at any time, $\mathrm{N}_0$ - Initial number of Bacteria.

Question

Aicharya · Accepted Answer

Because no. of bacteria initial $=\mathrm{N}_0$ and No. of bacteria at any time $t=N$
Since bacterial growth is given as
$\mathrm{N}=\mathrm{N}_0 \mathrm{e}^{\mathrm{Kt}}$
Where K = growth constant for bacterial growth
