Plant Growth Rate Trends

Hard Data Representation Understanding Graphs And Tables

Researchers conducted an experiment to observe the growth rate of two different plant species, Species A and Species B, over a six-week period. The growth rates were recorded in centimeters and displayed in the table below:

Week	Species A (cm)	Species B (cm)
1	2	1
2	4	3
3	7	5
4	11	7
5	16	10
6	22	12

Based on the data presented, which statement best describes the growth trends of Species A and Species B over the six-week period?

Species A consistently grows faster than Species B throughout the entire six-week period.

Species B has a higher growth rate than Species A during the first three weeks.

Both species show an increase in growth rate, but Species A's rate is exponential compared to Species B's linear growth.

Growth rate for both species declines after week three.
