✓
Answer
- Sigmoid curve
Explanation:
The growth curve is a curve, which plots time against growth (can be a number of cells, the size of an animal or organ of an animal etc.).
Generally, these curves have a characteristic S-shape, also called, sigmoidal curve.
This curve has three distinct phases as:
- Lag phase - During this phase, cell prepares for growth.
- Log/Exponential phase - During this phase, cell actually grows.
- Stationary phase - During this phase, the growth ceases.
