(A) From the provided data below at Microbes/Microorganisms 1 and 2, correlate the microbial/bacterial counts (number of cells) vs. the time to the Microbial Standard Growth Curve.
(B) Plot Microbes/Microorganisms 1 and 2. Interpret the plotted data through analyzing and comparing each microbe's (number of cells).
NOTE: ***MICROBIAL/BACTERIAL COUNTS (NUMBER OF CELLS) IS EQUIVALENT TO NUMBER OF BACTERIA***
