As a population size approaches (i.e. is almost equal to) carrying capacity for a certain population, which of the following outcomes is predicted by the logistic growth equation?
a.
The population growth rate will not change
b.
The population growth rate will approach zero
c.
The population size will increase exponentially
d.
The carrying capacity of the environment will increase
The population of individuals is growing at a continuous rate. The maximum growth rate is 0.35 and the carrying capacity of the population is 800 individuals.
a. If the population size is 20 individuals, find the population growth rate. Show your work.
b. If the population was nearing the carrying capacity, how would this rate compare to the calculated rate in part a? A calculation is not required.
A population that grew in close relation to the amount of resources available in the environment, would experience
A. exponential growth, such as shown on the J-shaped curve
B. logistic growth, such as shown on the S-shaped curve
C. unpredictable growth, such as shown on the ?-shaped curve
D.logistic growth, such as shown on the J-shaped curve
