What are labelled phases $A, B$ and $C$ in given sigmoidal growth curve?
$\text { A } \quad \text { B } \quad \text { C }$
  1. A - Stationary; B - Log; C - Lag
  2. A - Lag; B - Stationary; C - Log
  3. A - Log; B - Lag; C - Stationary
  4. A - Lag; B - Log; C - Stationary

Solution

When a graph is plotted taking into consideration time on one hand and growth rate on the other hand, a 'S' shaped curve is obtained. It is called "grand period of growth". This total growth period is divided into three stages. (1) Initial lag phase (2) Middle log phase (3) Final stationary phase.
