Introduction :
Population growth graph is given with respect to time showing population growth. This graph shows S-shape growth of the population with respect to time. So, this is the
Answer to Problem 5A
Correct answer :
The correct answer is option (a)
Explanation of Solution
Explanation/justification for the correct answer :
Option a) carrying capacity. Carrying capacity is the maximum number of individuals or the maximum
In logistic growth,
Explanation for incorrect answer :
Option b) exponential growth. Exponential growth shows J-shape growth curve , and in this population’s per capita growth remains same regardless of the population size, which results in increase in the population at a faster rate.
Option c) geometric growth. Geometric growth represents the situation where successive changes in the population differ by a constant ratio. It doesn’t take into consideration of intermediate values.
Option d) straight line graph. Straight line graph represents static or no change in the population growth with respect to time.
