Bacterial Growth: Suppose that a microbiologist performs an experiment in which she measures the rate at which a specific type of bacterium reproduces asexually in different culture media. The experiment shows that in Medium A the bacteria repro- duce once every 60 minutes, and in Medium B the bacteria reproduce once every 90 minutes. Assume that a single bacteria is placed on culture medium at the beginning of the experiment. Write a program that calculates and plots the number of bacteria present in each culture at intervals of three hours from beginning of the experiment until 24 hours have elapsed. Make two plots, one a linear y plot and the other linear-log plot. How do the numbers of bacteria compare on the two media after 24 hours
