The semilog of per minute growing bacteria is plotted against time. What will be the shape of graph ?

A

Sigmoid

B

Hyperbolic

C

Ascending straight line

D

Descending straight line

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Rate of increase of bacteria `to"dN"/"dt"`

`"dN"/"dt"=muN rArr N=N_0e^(mut)`
`rArr` log N = log `N_0+mut`
(y =mx +c , y=log N , m=`mu`, x=t)
