Using the data on the E. coli growth curve graph, answer the following questions. a.) For approximately how many hours are the bacterial cells in log-phase growth? If you have 100 cells at the very start of log-phase growth, and if the cells divide every 60 minutes, how many cells will you have at the end of the log-phase growth? Show your work and the equation that you used.

Draw the following growth curves for E.coli, starting with 100 cells with a generation time of 20 minutes at 35 degrees C, 40 minutes at 20 degrees C, and 2 hours at 5 degrees C. Draw separate graphs for each of the following. a. The cells are incubated for 5 hours at 35 degrees C. b. The cells were incubated for 5 hours at 35 degrees C, and then the temperature is changed to 20 degrees C for 2 hours. c. The cells were incubated for 5 hours at 35 degrees C, then the temperature is changed to 5 degrees C for 2 hours followed by 35 degrees C for 5 hours.

Draw the following growth curves for E. coli, starting with 100 cells with a generation time of 30 minutes at 35°C, 60 minutes at 20°C, and 3 hours at 5°C. a. The cells are incubated for 5 hours at 35°C. b. After 5 hours, the temperature is changed to 20°C for 2 hours. c. After 5 hours at 35°C, the temperature is changed to 5°C for 2 hours followed by 35°C for 5 hours.

3. Draw the following growth curves for E. coli, starting with 100 cells with a generation time of 20 minutes at 35 degrees C, 40 minutes at 20 degrees C, and 2 hours at 5 degrees C. Draw separate graphs for each of the following. Points will be deducted for not plotting them in separate graphs. a. The cells are incubated for 5 hours at 35 degrees C. (2pts) b. The cells were incubated for 5 hours at 35 degrees C, and then the temperature is changed to 20 degrees C for 2 hours. (4pts) c. The cells were incubated for 5 hours at 35 degrees C, then the temperature is changed to 5 degrees C for 2 hours followed by 35 degrees C for 5 hours. (4pts) Use a log scale for cell number on the Y axis and time on the X axis.
