| 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. |
Typical growth curve in plants is

| 3. | Linear | 4. | Stair-steps shaped |
| 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 |
| 1. | The growth rate is constant. |
| 2. | Growth rate increases exponentially with time. |
| 3. | The rate of anabolism equals that of catabolism. |
| 4. | There is no increase in growth rate. |
The growth of a root elongating at a constant rate will be represented by:

1. A only
2. B only
3. Both A and B
4. Neither A nor B
