***A*** ∻Key Concept∻ ⚹Exponential Growth in Cell Culture⚹ ∻Explanation∻ ⚹The cell density in a culture that doubles every hour can be calculated using the formula $N = N_0 imes 2^t$, where $N$ is the final cell density, $N_0$ is the initial cell density, and $t$ is the time in hours. After 3 hours, the cell density would be $4 imes 10^4 imes 2^3 = 4 imes 10^4 imes 8 = 3.2 imes 10◊What formula can be used to calculate exponential growth in cell density over time?⍭ Generate me a similar question◊$⚹
