The typical sequence for bacterial growth curve is:

Show Hint

The growth curve follows this sequence: Lag phase, Exponential phase, Stationary phase, and Death phase.
Updated On: Jan 17, 2026
  • Exponential/Log phase
  • Lag Phase
  • Stationary Phase
  • Death/Decline Phase
Show Solution

The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Step 1: Learn about bacterial growth phases.
The typical bacterial growth curve includes four phases:
- Lag phase (B): Bacteria adapt to their surroundings.
- Exponential/Log phase (A): Bacteria rapidly multiply.
- Stationary phase (C): Growth and death rates are balanced.
- Death/Decline phase (D): Cells die due to lack of nutrients and buildup of waste.
