***given the calculations, how do I apply it to the data taken?*** 1. Record Data in Table 1 and calculate the average number of fronds each day.2. Equations for Ideal Exponential GrowthExponential growth, the number of fronds, N, at a given time t is given by Equation 1, where: No- number ofstarting fronds and r = exponential growth rate constant. This can be re-arranged to give Equations 2 where anestimate of doubling time (t2) can be calculated, where In(2) = 0.693.Equation 1: N- NoertEquation 2: t2 = In 2/rKeep in mind that these equations are valid only for ideal exponential growth conditions (Phase B above). Forother phases of growth, different sets of equations must be applied to compensate for lag phase or to allow forsenescence and death.Using your starting number of duckweed No and your second number after a week you can determine thegrowth rate of the population by rearranging Equation 1 to solve for r as in Equation 3.Equation 3: r-(In Ne-In No) / tUsing the data from Table 1 calculate the growth rate (r) and doubling time (t2) of each sample and Record inTable 2. 3. Complete Tables 1 and 2. Describe the results you saw in your own words.Table 1: Number of Fronds of Lemna Minor (Duckweed)Sample Group Member1.2.3.4AverageControlFertilized1.2.3.4.AverageDate and TimeDays of GrowthSession I Frond Count Session 2 Frond Count2Sample1.
