a cell completes its cell cycle every 24hrs. starting with one cell how many cells will there be in seven days?? Show how you figured out your number??

There will be 2^7 = 128 cells in seven days.

This is because the cell doubles every 24 hours. So, after 24 hours, there will be 2 cells. After 48 hours, there will be 4 cells. After 72 hours, there will be 8 cells. After 96 hours, there will be 16 cells. After 120 hours, there will be 32 cells. After 144 hours, there will be 64 cells. After 168 hours, there will be 128 cells.

Did you know?

Did you know that a single cell can multiply rapidly through its cell cycle? In the case where a cell completes its cell cycle every 24 hours, you might be surprised to learn that within just seven days, it would give rise to a staggering number of cells. To find out how many cells there will be, one approach is to calculate the number of divisions per day. Since one cell divides into two cells, there would be 2^1 = 2 cells after the first day. On the second day, those two cells divide into a total of 2^2 = 4 cells. Continuing this pattern, on the third day, there would be 2^3 = 8 cells, on the fourth day, 2^4 = 16 cells, and so on. Finally, after seven days, the total number of cells can be calculated by raising 2 to the power of 7: 2^7 = 128 cells.
