Give 3 differences between arithmetic geometric growth.
Arithmetic growth | Geometric growth |
In arithmetic growth only one daughter cells dives and all the other cells undergo differentiation and maturation. | In geometric growth the growth is proportional to the nutrients supply after which it declines. All the daughter cells divide by mitosis. This is also known as exponential growth. |
The graph obtained is a linear one. | Represented by a sigmoid curve where the three phases are initial, exponential and stationary phases. |
Ex: Elongation of root occurring at a constant rate. | Ex; Cells growing in a culture medium. |
