Question

Mean growth rate constant is the number of generations per unit time, often expressed as generations per hour.

(a) True

(b) False

I had been asked this question in an interview.

I need to ask this question from Cell Growth Kinetics topic in section Homogenous Reactions of Bioprocess Engineering

Answer 1

Right answer is (a) True

To explain I would say: The growth rate can be expressed in terms of mean growth rate constant (k), the number of generations per unit time. Mean generation time or mean doubling time (g), is the time taken to double its size.
