The rate during which the rate of multiplication is decreasing is also known as Correct Answer Negative acceleration phase

The rate during which the rate of multiplication is decreasing is also known as the Negative acceleration phase.

Key Points

  • The growth rate decrease in this phase so this is called the negative acceleration phase.  
  • In this stage of log stage growth rate decrease because resources start to become limited in this stage
  • In this last stage of the growth curve, resources become limited so zero growth occurs in this phase.

Additional Information

  •  Maximum stationary phase
    • ​The stationary phase is the stage when growth ceases but cells remain metabolically active.
    • The characteristic proteins synthesized in the stationary phase are indispensable as they confer viability to the bacteria.
  • Accelerated death phase
    • ​In the death phase, the cells begin to die and the growth rate becomes negative as a result of the lack of nutrients or the presence of poisonous byproducts from the reaction.
  • Survival phase
    • Bacterial growth and survival is dependent upon the ability of an organism to sense its environmental conditions and respond to external stimuli.

After teaching the concept of multiplication to her class, a teacher asked her children to multiply 48 by 4. One of her students solved it orally as “To multiply 48 by 4, we first add 48 to 48, which makes 96 and then add another 96 to reach 192. So, the answer is 192”. What can you say about his / her strategy of multiplication?
