C4.1.8—Modelling sigmoid growth question 1

[Maximum number: 2]

Duckweed (Lemna aequinoctialis) is a small floating plant that sometimes forms a continuous cover over the surface of ponds. In an experiment, it was grown either in nutrient-rich medium or in sewage water for four weeks. The biomass obtained per square metre at different times is shown in the population growth curves.
