Question

Given above is a graph drawn on the parameters of growth versus time.A,B,C respectively represents ..............

• A. Exponential phase, log phase and steady state phase
• B. Steady state phase, lag phase and log phase
• C. Slow growing phase, lag phase and steady state phase
• D. Lag phase, steady state phase and logarithmic phase
• E. Log phase, lag phase and steady state phase

Answer 1

The correct option is B Steady state phase, lag phase and log phase

The first stage in growth phase is lag phase, where there is minimal growth. The next stage in growth phase is log phase, which is also called as exonential phase where the growth is manifold. The final stage is steady state where the growth is zero and thus known as steady state.
