A scientist keeps track of bacteria cells. She starts with 1 cell. After one hour, there are 2 cells. The number of cells continues to double in each of the following hours.
Complete the table to show the total number of cells after 5 hours. \begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|c|} \hline Hour & Expression & Power & Number of Cells \\ \hline 1 & 2 & 212^{1} & 2 \\ \hline 2 & 222 \cdot 2 & 222^{2} & 4 \\ \hline 3 & 2222 \cdot 2 \cdot 2 & 232^{3} & 8 \\ \hline 4 & 22222 \cdot 2 \cdot 2 \cdot 2 & 242^{4} & 16 \\ \hline 5 & 222222 \cdot 2 \cdot 2 \cdot 2 \cdot 2- & 252^{5} & \\ \hline \end{tabular}

Studdy Solution
After 5 hours, there are **32** bacteria cells.
We can also write this as 25=322^5 = 32, where the exponent 5 represents the number of hours.
