SOLUTION: A bacteria population doubles every four minutes. If the population begins with one cell, how long will it take to grow to 1,024 cells? A. 8 minutes B. 320 minutes C. 54 minut

Algebra ->  Exponential-and-logarithmic-functions -> SOLUTION: A bacteria population doubles every four minutes. If the population begins with one cell, how long will it take to grow to 1,024 cells? A. 8 minutes B. 320 minutes C. 54 minut      Log On

1024 cells is    times one cell.


Hence, the period of time is 10 doubling periods, or 10*4 = 40 minutes.    ANSWER
