    Answer:

    1*2^{24}=16777216

    Step-by-step explanation:

    y=C*2^t is the equation for this type of growth

    C is starting population and t is time

    C=1 and t=24 (1 day= 24 hours)

    Solve

    2^24 = 16,777,216 bacterias.
    Step-by-step explanation:
    So we start with 1 bacteria
    after 1 hours: 2*1 = 2
    after 2 hours: 2*2 = 2^2 = 4
    after 3 hours: 2*2^2 = 2^3
    after n hours: 2^n
    Since one day has 24 hours we have n = 24 and total number of bacteria will
    be: 2^24 = 16,777,216 bacterias.
