Use the following passage to answer 2 consecutive
questions.
A urine specimen was collected in a container and
placed on the central desk for delivery at 10:00 am.
The specimen is not sent to the lab until 5 hours later
(3:00 pm). The sample time was marked by the
central clerk as collected at 4:00 pm. The bacterial
species has a generation time of 30 minutes at room
temperature. There are 100 bacterial cells/ml at the
time of collection (10:00 am). The laboratory will cite
a bacterial infection at more than 1000 bacterial
cells/ml.
A bacteria colony's radius is measured as a function of time.
