NEETBotanyPlant - Growth and Development
Which statement is correct about this graph?
Options
- AThe initial growth is slow, called the lag phase.
- BGrowth increases rapidly thereafter at an exponential rate called exponential phase.
- CA sigmoid curve is a characteristic of living organisms growing in a natural environment.
- DAll of these
Correct answer
D. All of these
Step-by-step solution
In most systems, the initial growth is slow (lag phase), and it increases rapidly thereafter – at an exponential rate (log or exponential phase). A sigmoid curve is a characteristic of living organisms growing in a natural environment.
