FM - Microbial Growth

?
Which order is correct?
Lag, exponential, stationary, death
1 of 10
What happens in lag phase of bacterial growth?
Generates enzymes for process, receives messages through cell walls, intense metabolic activity, cells grow.
2 of 10
What happens in exponential phase of bacterial growth?
Biomass and cell number increasing, later deceleration, most rapid growth.
3 of 10
What happens in stationary phase of bacterial growth?
Running out of food, cells become smaller, cell walls leak, decrease in metabolic activity.
4 of 10
What happens in death phase of bacterial growth?
No active growth, cell lysis happens.
5 of 10
What is this describing?
Asexual bussing is most common
Vegetative cell forms bud, gets bigger, once big enough it will bud off.
Yeasts
6 of 10
What is this describing?
Large group of aerobic, filamentous, gram-positive bacteria that grow by hyphal extension.
Actinomycetes
7 of 10
What is this describing?
Mould spores germinate and a hypha develops.
Hyphal extension and branching is the main mode of vegetative growth.
Radial growth on agar media.
Filamentous fungi
8 of 10
What is being described?
Hyphal extension is the main mode of vegetative growth.
Hyphae are collectively known as the mycelium.
Fruiting body fungi
9 of 10
What is anabolism?
The sum of biochemical processes that results in synthesis of cell constituents from simpler molecules, requiring energy
