6. Which colony of bacteria will reach have the most cells after 24 hours of growth?

Colony with 50 cells and doubling time of 120 minutes will have most cells after 24 hours of growth. It has the lowest doubling times than other 3 colonies.

A colony (A) with 50 cells and doubling time of 120 minutes, will have 2,04,800 cells after 24 hours.

A colony (B) with 100 cells and doubling time of 3.5 hours, will have 12,800 cells after 24 hours (24 hours & 30 minutes).

A colony (C) with 10 cells and doubling time 7 hours, will have 80-160 cells after 24 hours

A colony (D) with 25 cells and doubling time of 350 minutes, will have around 400 cells after 24 hours (1440 minutes) and 400 cells at 1400 minutes.
