Practice question
Question
The initial population of a bacterial strain increases from 1x10 ⁴ cells per mL to 1x10 ⁶ cells per mL in 120 minutes. The generation time for this strain (round off to 2 decimal places) is minutes.
Explanation
This outcome reflects membrane organization, where lipid bilayer and protein trafficking maintain compartmentalization. Option NAT captures this correctly because it aligns with organelle function and transport, consistent with textbook descriptions and experimental observations in cell biology.
