Question

Given graph is drawn on the parameters of growth versus time. Here 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. Log phase, steady state phase and logarithmic phase
• D. Log phase, lag phase and steady state phase.

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Steady state phase, lag phase and log phase

A. represents the steady phase where the growth rate becomes constant. B represents lag phase where initially the cells start from few parent cell and divide into few more daughter cells. C represents the logarithmic increase of cells.

Thus, the correct answer is 'Steady state phase, lag phase and log phase.'
