Plant Growth Comparison Over Four Weeks

Easy Data Representation Understanding Graphs And Tables

A scientist conducted an experiment to measure the growth of two different plant species (Species A and Species B) over a four-week period. The results are summarized in the graph below, which shows the height of the plants in centimeters at the end of each week.

At the end of week 1, Species A measured 5 cm and Species B measured 7 cm. At the end of week 2, Species A grew to 8 cm and Species B to 10 cm. By week 3, Species A reached 12 cm, while Species B reached 13 cm. Finally, at the end of week 4, Species A was recorded at 15 cm and Species B at 17 cm. Based on this data, which statement accurately summarizes the growth trend of both plant species?

Species A consistently grew faster than Species B throughout the four weeks.

Species B started taller than Species A and consistently exceeded its height at the end of each week.

Both species had the same growth rate over the four weeks.

Species A was initially taller than Species B but fell behind by week 2.
