Growth in organisms
Irreversible, permanent process that involves the increase in the number of cells, size, volume and weight of the organism’s body
Growth of insects
Organisms with exoskeletons like insects undergo growth differently compare to humans
2 types of insects growth
Complete metamorphosis and incomplete metamorphosis
Growth curve
This curve is obtained by plotting growth parameters against time and it can show the growth pattern of the organism
Sigmoid growth curve
The growth curve that is common for organisms and consists of 6 phases
Phases in sigmoid growth
The lag phase, exponential phase, stationary phase, maturity phase, senescence and death phase
Lag phase
It is an adaptation phase and the growth rate is low because it involves cell division and little cell elongation
Exponential phase
The fastest growth rate, division and elongation of cells occur actively and this leads to an increase in the size of the organism
Fasa pertumbuhan perlahan
Growth rates are slow and occur at a constant rate, cells reach maximum size and experience differentiation to form specialized cells
Maturity phase
The organism reaches a mature stage and the growth rate is zero, cell division occurs to replace damaged or dead tissue
