1. A root elongating at a constant rate 
2. The equation, \(L_t = L_0 + rt\)
3. A linear curve is obtained graphically when the length of an organ is plotted against time 
4. All of the above

In an idealized sigmoid (S-shaped) growth curve, which of the following phases represents the period of maximum exponential growth in a plant?
1. Lag phase, where initial slow growth occurs.
2. Log (exponential) phase, where growth rate increases rapidly.
3. Stationary phase, where growth rate stabilizes.
4. Senescence phase, where growth rate declines as nutrients become limiting.

The exponential growth and arithmetic growth can be respectively expressed as: 
1. \(W_1 = W_0e^{rt} ~, ~ L_t = L_0 +rt\)
2. \(L_t =L_0 +rt , W_1 = W_0e^{rt} \)
3. \(W_1 = W_0e^{rt} + L_0~, ~ L_t = rt+ W_0e^{rt}\)
4. \(W_1 = W_0e^{rt} ~, ~ W_1 = e^{rt}\)

Observe the sigmoid curve given below and identify the phases A, B, and C:
 
1. A = Initial slow growth, B = Rapid growth, C = Phase of growth during limited nutrient supply 
2. A = Rapid growth, B = Initial slow growth, C = Phase of growth during limited nutrient supply 
3. A = Lag phase, B = Stationary phase, C = Exponential phase
4. A = Exponential phase, B = Stationary phase, C = Lag phase
