A primary root grows from 5 cm to 19 cm in a weak. Calculate the actual growth rate (AGR) and relative growth rate (RGR) over the period.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

(a) Growth taken palce : 19-5 = 14 cm
(b) Period : One week (7 days)
(c) Growth rate : `(14)/(7)= 2` cm per day,
Initial growth rate = 5 cm
(d) Relative growth rate = `2/5 xx 100=40%`
