Select ALL
statements which are true about the bacteria population.*

1 When the bacteria population reaches 900, 12 hours have passed since the colony
was placed on the petri dish.

2 Three hours after the colony is placed on the petri dish, there are 200 bacteria.

3 Three hours after the colony is placed on the petri dish, there are about 173 bacteria
in the colony

4 In the first hour that the colony is placed on the petri dish, the population grows by a
factor of 3^(1/6)

5Between 8 am and 9 am. the population grows by a factor of 3^(2/3).
