Question

a host cell has intracellular bacterial symbionts. if growth rate of the bacterial symbiontis 10% higher than the host cell, after ten generations of the host cell, the density of bacteria is host cell with increase by
(A) BY 10%
(B) TWO FOLD
(C) TEN FOLD
(D) HUNDRED FOLD

Answer 1

The density of bacteria in host cell will increase by 11 times. The density of bacteria in host cell will increase by 10 percent.
If host cell number is taken in the right side column and bacteria population on the right side, then:
1-1
2- 2.2
3- 3.3
4- 4.4
5- 5.5
6- 6.6
7- 7.7
8- 8.8
9- 9.9
10- 11.
