Exponential growth in plants can be expressed as |
a) | b) |
c) | d) |
(c)The exponential growth can be expressed as Where, = Final size(weight, height, number, etc.) = initial size of the beginning of trhe period r = Growth rate t = Time of growth e= base of natural logarithmsHere, r is the relative growth rate and is also the measure of the ability of the plant to produce plant material, referred to as efficiency index. Hence, the final size of depends on the initial size . |
