They are alive, so they must - by definition - excrete in some form or other.

But, since they're just single cell organisms, it's probably limited to waste products diffusing out of the cell into the surrounding environment. Not sure about how, but I know that the toxins they excrete are the reason they cause illnesses.

How many hours will it take for the population to grow to 1,000 bacteria? Round your answer to the nearest integer. Do not include units in your answer.
B(t) = 50 *e0.5tAnswer Question

by taylor-a... Member since:April 27, 2009Total points:969 (Level 2)If you have a graphing calculator, plug the equation into the y=.
Expand your window so that you can see the population (probably the y axis) untill you can see 1000. Some cushion would be helpful so make the window a little bigger.
Plug 1000 into the y= also and find where the line intersects your function.
(If you didn't know, the e is above the divide symbol on the calculator.)
I hope this helps.
