1Growth PatternsThe Patterns
• patterns of growth vary from species to species
• the patterns of growth in living multicellular organisms are:
allometric vs. isometric
limited vs. unlimited

• In human, the growth curve after birth appears to consist of two sigmoid curves, with two main rapid growth phases, the infant phase and the adolescent phase.
• A slower growth phase is known as the childhood phase can be found in between these two rapid growth phases.

• growth rate is slower.
• beginning at the age of four,
• the rate is slightly higher in boys than in girls

• growth rate is rapid. • in the earlier part of
this growth phase, females demonstrate a more rapid growth rate
• i.e. two years earlier than begins in males.

3. Adolescent phase:

11Growth patternsHuman Growth Curves
3. Adolescent phase:
• At the later part of this growth phase, the male growth rate becomes higher than the female growth rate.
• This difference results in the females attaining puberty at an earlier age compared to males.
• Females attain puberty around the age of 12, while males attain puberty when they are about 14 years old.
![Page 18: GROWTH PATTERNS](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081507/56815ccb550346895dcad925/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
• growth rate is zero • most individuals would have attained
maturity. • Males achieve this phase at the age
about 18 while females at the age around 16.

• growth rate is negative• i.e. the body proportion will start to
decrease starting from the age of 30.

• In annual plants, the sigmoid growth curve of dry mass versus time shows a small reduction in dry mass in the initial part of growth, due to seed germination.
• During germination, food stored in the cotyledons is usually used up before the first leaves undergo photosynthesis.

• This loss of mass is later replaced when the first leaves develop and start photosynthesis.
• Later, growth rate is very rapid, until it becomes constant at a later stage.
• This rapid growth rate is maintained until the plant achieves maturity, after which the rate gradually reduces until it becomes zero.
• e.g: pea plant

• Refer to non-stop growth over a relatively long life span
• Example organisms demonstrate unlimited growth:
• Obelia colonies, • coral reefs and • multiple season woody
trees

• The growth curve for unlimited growth comprises a series of small sigmoid curves.

• This type of curve shows that there is an increase in the mass and size every season.

• In plants that demonstrate unlimited growth, there is no fixed rate and the growth continues until enemies, natural catastrophe or diseases cause destructive effects on them.

The growth of an organism within which different organs grow at different rates from each other and from the overall growth.
• involves the change in size and external shape/ features of the organism

It shows the correlation between the growth and development of the organism
• e.g. in mammals: the growth rates of the lymphatic and reproductive tissues is different
• i.e. the growth rates of both tissues are the highest at the different stages of development

• the mammalian lymphatic tissues grows rapidly during the early childhood years
• but during adolescence its growth rate is lower, why?
• the mammalian reproductive tissues grows faster during the stage of adolescence, why?

This is because lymphoid tissues are required by a young individual to give it natural immunity and defense againts disease.This function is less needed during the adult phase.
The reproductive system only starts to grow and develop during the adolescent phase.
Similarly, in embryos, the brain and the head will both start growth and development together in the early phase of life, while the complete development of hands and feet only occurs in the later phase.

The growth of an organism within the organs grow at the same rates with the other parts of the body.
• the relative size of the organs is constant• i.e. the size of the organs increase, but the
external features remain the same
• e.g. fish, grasshoppers, cockroaches

• It is a discontinuous growth occurs in insects & other arthropods metamorphosis.
• Growth is limited by the hard exoskeleton during certain periods until the ecdysis / moulting process takes place.
• Then, growth occurs very suddenly at a rapid pace.(rate of movement)
• Produces a step-like (intermittant) growth curve.• Each stage in between ecdysis is known as instar.

Ecdysis:
• also known as moulting
• a process of changing the old exoskeleton of arthropods replaced with new soft layer and later becomes harden again.
• occur periodically to allow growth and development.
• during ecdysis, arthropod breathes in a lot of air
- body expands and break the old exoskeleton
