Question : Give quantitative comparison of growth rate ?

1.	Question : Give quantitative comparison of growth rate ?
Answer» Solution : The quantitative comparisons between the growth of living system is done in following two WAYS: (1) Absolute Growth Rate : It is known to be the measurement and the comparison of total growth per unit time. (2) Relative Growth Rate : It is the growth of the given system per unit time expressed on a common basis, e.g., per unit initial parameter. Leaves A and B shown in the FIGURE have grown 5 cm. in one day. Although their size are different i.e. 5 CM2 and 50 cm? respectively but both of then show absolute increase in AREA in the given time to given leaves A. a in both cases. Out of these two, the relative growth rate is higher or FASTER in leaf `A^(1)`
