What are labelled phases A, B, and C in the below given sigmoidal growth curve?
Correct answer: D. A: Lag, B: Log, C: Stationary
- A. A: Stationary, B: Log, C: Lag
- B. A: Lag, B: Stationary, C: Log
- C. A: Log, B: Lag, C: Stationary
- D. A: Lag, B: Log, C: Stationary
Explanation
When a graph is plotted taking into consideration time on one hand and growth rate, on the other hand, an S-shaped curve is obtained. It is called the "grand period of growth". This curve mainly shows four phases of growth: 1. Initial slow growth (lag phase). 2. The rapid period of growth (log phase), where maximum growth is seen in a short period. 3. The diminishing phase, where growth will be slow. 4. Stationary phase, where finally growth stops.
