1. This figure shows a growth curve plotted on a non-logarithmic, or linear, scale. Compare this with ? figure 4.6. In both figures, the number of cells increases dramatically during the log or exponential phase. In this phase, the cell number increases more and more rapidly (this effect is more apparent in the accompanying figure). Why should the increase be speeding up?
