Procedure
During this exercise the population growth of the bacteria Escherichia coli (E.coli) will be measured. If the conditions are right, the E.coli population will grow more rapidly the longer it stays in that area. Turbidity, meaning cloudiness, will be how the tubes are measured to give the results of bacterial growth. The more turbid the broth the more bacteria count the tube will contain. For this particular exercise, a broth has been …show more content…
Compared to the growth of human populations (Table 2) this seems as though these results could be true. The human population did not just happen over night. Table 2 expresses that over a long period of time the human population was very low and unpredictable. From about 1400B.C. to about 1300 there were only slight increases and decreases. This would have probably been the result of diseases, more energy needs, or even food shortages. When different elements are introduced at different times these elements could aid or arrest the population growth. Over a course of 10million years the human population the human population seemed almost unpredictable. Now around the 1800’s humans began to get a grasp on the advancement of public health and advanced
