Answer 1

the number of bacteria will double and 32

Step-by-step explanation:

because in 1 hour its 2 and in 2 hours its 4 so it doubled or you can check in 3 hours it was 8 and in 4 hours it was 16 so it doubled. And when you double 16 do find the amount in 5 hours it is 32.

Answer 2

Since binary fission is the direct division of bacteria from which two cells result that means every hour the number of bacteria will double.
