Their reproduction is very predictable. Every twenty minutes one bacterium will split to create two bacteria. If new bacterium is one of two formed at 2:00, how many will there be after three hours of cell division? How long will it take for one bacterium to become 256 organisms? Organize a visual display that explains this process. =e ©2003 K, Aihara
