C4.1.7—Population growth curves Topic Practice
Practise reading population growth curves, labelling phases, comparing treatments and explaining changes in growth from data.
How this is tested
- label lag, exponential, decelerating and plateau phases on sigmoid growth curves
- compare growth curves across media using timing, shape, plateau values and error bars
- explain slowed growth through nutrient depletion, competition and carrying capacity
