The correct Answer is:
To determine the kind of growth in unicellular organisms like bacteria, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the types of growth First, we need to understand the different types of growth mentioned in the options: logarithmic, barygmatic, geometric, and plasticity. ### Step 2: Identify the growth pattern in bacteria Bacteria reproduce by binary fission, where one bacterium divides into two, and this process continues. This means that the number of bacteria doubles with each generation. ### Step 3: Define exponential growth Exponential growth refers to a process where the quantity increases at a rate proportional to its current value. In the case of bacteria, this means that as the population grows, the rate of growth also increases. ### Step 4: Relate exponential growth to geometric growth In a discrete context, exponential growth can also be referred to as geometric growth, as it follows a pattern of doubling (1, 2, 4, 8, etc.). Each generation represents a geometric progression. ### Step 5: Choose the correct option Given that bacterial growth is characterized by this doubling pattern, the correct answer to the question is geometric growth. ### Final Answer: The kind of growth in unicellular organisms like bacteria is geometric. ---
