The second phase of bacteria growth is familiar as ____ phase
A
LAG
B
STATIONERY
C
LOG
D
DECLINE
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Exponential (Log) Phase: After the lag phase, bacterial cells enter the exponential or log phase. This is the time when the cells are dividing by binary fission and doubling in numbers after each generation time.

Detailed explanation-2: -The log phase of bacterial growth is followed by the stationary phase, in which the size of a population of bacteria remains constant, even though some cells continue to divide and others begin to die.

Detailed explanation-3: -Log phase, also referred to as the exponential phase or logarithmic phase, is one of the phases observed in a bacterial growth curve. The striking feature of this phase is the property of cell doubling through binary fission.

Detailed explanation-4: -Log (Exponential Growth) Phase This is when cells divide by binary fission and the doubling of each generation creates the exponential growth for which the phase is named. Metabolic activity during this stage is high but generally limited to the necessary steps required for reproduction.

Detailed explanation-5: -Log phase is also called as exponential phase. In this phase of growth curve, maximum growth is seen. The previous stage of log phase is lag phase where there is no growth. The stage after log phase is stationary phase where there is no more growth.
