Population of Bacteria
A graph entitled Population of Bacteria has generation on the horizontal axis, from 0 to 10, and population size on the vertical axis, from 0 to 35,000 in increments of 5,000. From generations 1 to 7, the population size was close to 0. From generations 7 to 10, the population size increased rapidly.

Exponential.
The population shows a long lag (near zero) then a rapid, accelerating increase—characteristic of exponential (J-shaped) growth. It is not linear (constant rate) or logistic/limited (which would level off at a carrying capacity).
