What occurs during the stationary phase of bacterial growth?

Back

Bacteria are reproducing at the same rate as they are dying.

Front

Front

How is bacterial growth characterized?

Back

Bacterial growth is exponential.

Front

Back

Log Phase.

Front

Define the Lag Phase in bacterial growth.

Back

The initial phase where bacteria adapt to their environment before starting to divide.

Front

What is the role of nutrients in bacterial growth?

Back

Nutrients are essential for bacteria to reproduce and carry out metabolic functions.

Front

What is an obligate aerobe?

Back

A type of bacteria that requires oxygen for growth.

Front

What is an aerotolerant anaerobe?

Back

Bacteria that can tolerate oxygen but do not use it for growth.

Front

Explain the concept of exponential growth in bacteria.

Back

Exponential growth occurs when the number of bacteria doubles at regular intervals under ideal conditions.
