Q10 of 70 Page 88

If a population of 50 Paramecium present in a pool increases to 150 after an hour, what would be the growth rate of population?

Initial population of Paramecium (Pi): =50


Growth of Paramecium after 1 hour (Pf)=150


Growth Rate=Pi-Pf


=150-50=100


Hence, the growth rate would be 100.
