Explain Growth Patterns Practice Test

A class compared yeast population growth in identical flasks, changing only the sugar type. Refer to the table of yeast cell counts (in millions) measured at the same times. Which statement about the growth pattern is supported by the evidence and the condition (sugar type)?

You must use the overall trend across time, not just one measurement.

Two groups of the same type of bacteria were grown in identical containers. The only planned difference was oxygen level: Group 1 had normal oxygen; Group 2 had very low oxygen. Refer to the table of bacteria population (same units) across days. Which explanation best matches the growth pattern using evidence and the oxygen condition?

Your answer must connect the trend to the condition using the data shown.
