Question

Fastest phase of S-shaped growth curve is

• A. Lag phase
• B. Log Phase
• C. Stationary phase
• D. Both (a) and (B).

Answer 1

The correct option is B Log Phase

• S-shaped logistic growth curve includes 3 phases:
• Lag phase - When some organisms are introduced in an area, the population growth begins slowly.
• Log phase - The conditions are ideal and the maximum growth rate is reached.
• Stationary phase - Growth rate begins to slow down as factors such as food, water and space become limiting.
  

Thus, the correct answer is 'Log phase.'
