      The growth rate of an organism can be calculated by tracking changes in its size or population over time. For single organisms, this is often measured as an increase in length, weight, or volume. For populations, it can be tracked by counting the number of individuals, or measuring total biomass. Growth rates can vary significantly between organisms and even within different stages of an organism’s life cycle.
