Experiment: In a 96-well plate, initial concentrations of glucose ranging from 0.01% to 0.05% of the culture were studied. There are several possible effects that it could exert on cell growth and the hypotheses are stated below:
1.The lower the initial amount of glucose in the medium, the shorter the time taken for the population to reach saturation level.
2.The lower the initial amount of glucose in the medium, the lower the growth rate prior saturation level, but no delays on the time taken to reach saturation.
In addition, we also know that a lower amount of glucose means that the population will grow less and saturate at a smaller value.
