Lag Phase

Detailed explanation-1: -Explanation: A typical growth curve has four regions. An initial period of no growth known as the lag phase, followed by rapid growth known as logarithmic phase. No growth is observed in the stationary phase and death phase.
Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: –Exponential phase: a period of rapid growth where cells undergo binary fission. This is the phase when population size is most expanded, and the answer to the question.-Stationary phase: a phase where growth starts to slow, usually due to the occupation of available resources.
