Typical growth curve in plants is :
Correct answer: C. Sigmoid
- A. Stairsteps shaped
- B. Parabolic
- C. Sigmoid
- D. Linear
Explanation
Geometric growth cannot be sustained for long in natural conditions. Limited nutrient availability slows down the growth. It leads to a stationary phase or even a decline. Plotting the growth against time gives a typical sigmoid or S-curve. The sigmoid curve of growth is typical of most organisms in their natural environment including plants. An idealized sigmoid growth curve is drawn below:
