S.11 Example 2: Bacteria Growth
- If we continued this table to 4 seconds, how many bacteria would you expect to see?
- What about 5 seconds?
- Will the curve ever be perfectly vertical?
- Adjust to real time: The narrator said, “Just one bacterium, dividing every 20 minutes…” How much time passed in the video? How do we adjust out table and graph?
- What scale should we use for the vertical axis?
- How can we estimate the number of bacteria at greater time intervals?
- What does the curve represent between the points?
