Question

match the phase of the bacterial growth curve with its description. 1 death phase 2 exponential growth phase 3 stationary growth phase 4 lag phase match each of the options above to the items below. phase during which nutrient depletion and accumulation of wastes begin to slo phase during which cells are growing very quickly, at their maximum rate of cell adjustment period during which cells are dividing slowly while they adjust to gn nutrient depletion and waste accumulation prevent cell growth and cells die ex

Explanation:

1. In the stationary growth phase, nutrient depletion and accumulation of wastes begin to slow growth.
2. The exponential growth phase is when cells grow very quickly at their maximum rate of cell - division.
3. The lag phase is an adjustment period where cells divide slowly as they adjust to growth conditions.
4. In the death phase, nutrient depletion and waste accumulation prevent cell growth and cells die exponentially.

Answer:

Phase during which nutrient depletion and accumulation of wastes begin to slow: 3. Stationary growth phase
Phase during which cells are growing very quickly, at their maximum rate of cell - division: 2. Exponential growth phase
Adjustment period during which cells are dividing slowly while they adjust to growth: 4. Lag phase
Nutrient depletion and waste accumulation prevent cell growth and cells die exponentially: 1. Death phase
