Exponential growth in plants can be expressed as

Options

A. `L_(t)=L_(v)+rt`
B. `L_(e)=L_(t)rt`
C. `W_(1)=W_(0)e^(n)`
D. `W_(1)=W_(0)ert`

Answer

C

Explanation

The exponential growth can be expressed as
`W_(1)=W_(0) e^(rt)`
where, `W_(1) =` Final size (weight, height, number, etc.)
`W_(0)=` Initial size at the beginning of the period
`r=` Growth rate
`t=` Time of growth
`e=` Base of natural logarithms.
Here, r is the relative growth rate and is also the measure of ability of the plant to produce plnat material, referred to as efficiency index. Hence, the final size of `W_(1)` depends on the initial size `W_(0)` .
