If a certain kind of bacteria reproduces by binary fission and a bacterium takes 20 minutes to divide, how long would it take for 1 bacterium to produce 500,000 bacteria through binary fission?

Each bacterium can undergo binary fission every 20 minutes. After 5 hours, a single bacterium can produce a population of 32,768 descendants. Are you surprised?

i believe the answer is a or 1

well, since there is no answer choices, i will give an answer on how it works : )

the two objects are placed together. energy will always be transferred from the hotter object to the cooler object until they are equal. hope this is close to one of the answer choices : )
