To solve the problem of how much time it will take for two E. coli cells to become 32 cells, we can break it down step by step: ### Step 1: Understand the Duplication Process E. coli undergoes binary fission, where one cell divides into two identical cells. This means that every division doubles the number of cells. ### Step 2: Determine the Number of Divisions Needed Starting with 2 E. coli cells, we want to find out how many divisions are needed to reach 32 cells. ...
