Question
Chapter 27.2, Problem 1CYL
Summary Introduction
To describe:
The exponential growth, the conditions under which it occurs and the shape of the curve which it produces.
Introduction:
A population could not indefinitely grow. The resistance of the environment ensures that no natural population will experience exponential growth for a longer duration of time. The environmental resistance consists of the factors which limit the growth of population.

(a) With the aid of a diagram, plot a sigmoid curve for human growth and label the phase that showing the growth is happening rapidly.
Briefly explain the phase that has been labelled in (a).
Using your growth curve determine approximately how long is lag phase? The log phase? The stationary phase? Can you determine when the death phase begins from these data?
Answer the following question and choose the correct option:
Which phase has the specific growth rate condition u = 0?
A) Delay phase
B) Stationary phase
C) Death phase
