Students in a microbiology lab need a culture for experiments that require healthy and actively metabolizing cells. The students are provided with a culture of E. coli, and don't know how long it's been growing. The professor is apparently having a bad day, and just tells them "Well, the population growth is changing exponentially every 25 minutes!". If the professor can be trusted, which of the following is true regarding the growth phase of this culture? O It is in lag or stationary phase. O It is in log/exponential or death phase. O It is in stationary or death phase. O It is not possible to narrow down which phase or phases of growth the culture is in.
