Question

Given below is a graph drawn on the parameters of growth versus time. A, B and C respectively represent

• 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 log phase
• E. Lag phase, log phase and steady state phase

Answer 1

The correct option is B

Steady state phase, lag phase and log phase

In the graphic representation of total growth against time, the S-shaped or sigmoid curve is obtained. Where A is the steady-state phase.
B is the lag phase and C is the log phase.
