If a cell undergos cell division every five minutes, how many cells will there be after 1 hour?

4096

Step-by-step explanation:

there are 12 5 minute periods in one hour so

1•2=2 =5m

2•2=4 =10m

4•2=8 =15m

8•2=16 =20m

16•2=32 =25m

32•2=64 =30m

64•2=128 =35m

128•2=256 =40m

256•2=512 =45m

512•2=1024 =50m

1024•2=2048 =55m

2048•2=4096 =60m

4096

Step-by-step explanation:

apperently every 5 min, the cell will start to divide in what can be assumed in this case by factors of 2.

in 5 min, the cell divides into 2. In 10 min, the cell divides into 4. so on and so forth. So, when dividing an hour there are 12 groups of 5 min to complete an hour or 60 min.
