Quantitative comparisons between the growth of living system can be made in two ways where:
I: measurement and the comparison of total growth per unit time is called the absolute growth rate.
II: the growth of the given system per unit time expressed on a common basis, e.g., per unit initial parameter is called the relative growth rate.

1. Only I is correct
2. Only II is correct
3. Both I and II are correct
4. Both I and II are incorrect

Consider the given diagram and select the correct inference:

1. Both leaves have shown different absolute growths
2. First leaf has exhibited growth but second leaf has not as it is already senescent
3. The relative growth of first leaf is more than that of the second leaf
4. Both leaves have exhibited equal relative growths

In plants, during growth and development:
I: Turgidity of cells helps in extension growth.
II: Water provides the medium for enzymatic activities needed for growth.
III: Oxygen helps in releasing metabolic energy essential for growth activities.
IV: Nutrients (macro and micro essential elements) are required for the synthesis of protoplasm and act as source of energy.
