At t = 0, the bacterial cell number is 10,000 cells/mL. At t = 480 minutes, the cell number increased to 320,000 cells/mL. The mean generation time during this exponential growth period, rounded off to the nearest integer, is ________ minutes.

<p>textbf{Answer:} 96 minutes</p>
<p>textbf{Explanation:} The mean generation time can be calculated using the formula:</p>
<p>
<br /> text{Generation Time} = frac{text{Time Interval} (t)}{text{Number of Generations} (n)}<br />
where
<br /> n = frac{log (text{Final cell count}) - log (text{Initial cell count})}{log 2}<br />
<br /> text{Generation Time} = frac{text{Time Interval} (t)}{text{Number of Generations} (n)}<br />
where
<br /> n = frac{log (text{Final cell count}) - log (text{Initial cell count})}{log 2}<br />
