OpenStudy (anonymous):

An isolated bacterium is allowed to grow in a nutrient-rich media under suitable conditions. What will be the growth pattern for a bacterial population under ideal conditions with unlimited resources?

OpenStudy (tanya123):

With unlimited resources the bacterial population/culture will continue to grow exponentially; also this assumes that wastes are removed from the culture. This would require a special machine or technique to constantly supply fresh media to the culture and the removal of all waste.

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

the pattern is always exponential bacteria's growth is an exponential function
