In the below diagrams, A and B are initial areas of leaves. A' and B' are areas of leaves after growth. Which of the following is correct?

Step-by-step solution

Quantitative comparisons between the growth of a living system can also be made in two ways: (i) measurement and the comparison of total growth per unit time is called the absolute growth rate. (ii) The growth of the given system per unit time expressed on a common basis, e.g., per unit initial parameter, is called the relative growth rate. Here, absolute growth of leaf A to A’ is 2.5 cm 2 , whereas that of leaf B to B’ is 10cm 2. Hence, absolute growth is different. Since 2.5 is 25% of 10, there is a total 25% inc
