Bacteria multiply by cell division, i.e. they can reproduce from one organism. How many bacteria you would have depends on a large number of factors, the main one being the time period! Other factors include type of bacteria and temperature.

How would you define pure culture sterile culture and contamination in the culture and isolation of bacteria?

A pure culture contains only one bacteria and no other. A sterile culture has only one bacteria in it and is usually used for transport. Contamination is something that doesn't belong. It can even be a small bit of plastic or wire. It is the opposite of a pure culture. The whole idea when working with isolating bacteria is to figure out which bacteria (or microbe) is causing an infection or disease in a patient. Your job is to help to figure this out so that the proper treatment can be started as soon as possible.

What name the 3 types of bacteria?

There are many types of bacteria. It depends on what you are looking at as "type". There are cocci, bacilli, spirchetes (among other shapes) all referring to the shape of the bacteria. Of those they may be Gram positive or Gram Negative. There are anaerobes, aerobes, microaerophillic, and falcultative - all referring to the oxygen requirements of the bacteria. There are many other "types", but I would go with shape and Gram +/- such as "Gram + Cocci" as one type.

If there was one bacteria on a piece of meat left in a nice warm place for five hours how many would be present at the end of this time?

Bacteria breed at different rates.The answer to your question would depend on what the bacterium was. IF we could assume that it is a bacteria that doubles every 20 minutes under these particular conditions, 1 bacterium would turn into 214 or 16384 bacteria. Again, realize that growth rates will vary and, when it comes to food, you almost never start out with only one bacterium.
