2. A colony of paramecium has an intrinsic growth rate (r) of 100 per 1,000 in the population per hour.
a. Starting with 10,000 paramecia, and assuming no environmental resistance, what is the size of
the population at the end of three hours?
b. Assume that there is environmental resistance in the form of a carrying capacity (K) of 14,000
paramecia during the fourth hour of the population. Start with the population size you
calculated in "a" above, and find the total number of paramecia at the end of the fourth hour.
