Answers
The rate of growth of a plant or plant part is not always the same during its life span. Sometimes it is slow and at other times rapid. If we plot the increase in cell number (growth rate) against time, a typical S-shaped curve is obtained. This is called growth curve or sigmoid growth curve.
Answer:
The growth curve is a S-shaped curve obtained when we plot growth against time. It is also called sigmoid curve. This curve mainly shows four phases of growth - 1. initial slow growth (Lag phase), 2. the rapid period of growth (log phase / exponential phase) where maximum growth is seen in a short period and 3. the diminishing phase where growth will be slow and 4. stationary / steady phase where finally growth stops.
so, the typical growth curve in plants is sigmoid.
