Organisms and Populations Question 62
62. The maximum growth rate occurs in
(a) stationary phase
(b) senescent phase
(c) lag phase
(d) exponential phase
Show Answer
Answer : d
Hints & Solutions
(d) In the sigmoid growth curve, growth is slow in the lag phase. Growth rate remains stable during the stationary phase and it declines during the senescent phase. Growth increases logarithmically during the exponential phase.
