Choose the correct sequence of stages of growth curve for Bacteria
The correct option is (A) : Leg, Log, stationary, Decline phase
The growth cycle contains four distinct stages, which are: 1. The lag phase, which occurs just after the cells are infused into new medium, is when enzymes, proteins, and RNA are synthesised. 2. Exponential (log) phase, during which all cells routinely undergo binary fission divisions and expand by geometric progression. Depending on the make-up of the growth medium and the incubation circumstances, the cells divide at a consistent pace. 3. Stationary phase: In a culture, exponential development cannot go on indefinitely. One of three things can prevent population growth: running out of nutrients; building up inhibitory metabolites or end products; or running out of room (also known as running out of biological space). 4. Death phase—this phase comes next if incubation continues after the population reaches stationary.

An attached living system that lives in an environment is commonly known as an organism. These organisms are able to retain certain behaviors and structures. Some examples of organisms are plants, animals, bacteria, fungi, and humans. A group of these organisms leads to the formation of a population. The collection of the population forms a community that assists in the operation of ecosystems.
Each and every organism has the ability to adapt itself to various conditions of the environment. This capacity of organisms is due to their genetic variations. It is due to this only that their probability of survival get increases. For instance, camels adapt themselves to survive in desert areas and polar bears adapt to the extreme cold conditions or situations through their dense fur coat.
A collection of organisms or individuals of a species that live, at a specific time, in a geographical area that is well-defined and capable of interbreeding is described as a population.
