Kinetics of Growth

The kinetics of growth describes how organisms, cells, or populations increase over time. It involves understanding the rate at which growth occurs and the factors influencing it, such as nutrients, environment, and genetic regulation. Typically, growth follows predictable patterns—initially slow, then rapid, and finally leveling off as resources become limited. Mathematical models, like exponential or logistic growth curves, help scientists predict and analyze these patterns. Overall, growth kinetics provide valuable insights into biological development, disease progression, and ecological dynamics by quantifying how and when growth happens.
