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.
Answer to Problem 4A
Correct answer :
The correct answer is option (c)
Explanation of Solution
Explanation/justification for the correct answer :
Option c) logistic growth. This graph is S-shaped, hence it shows logistic growth. In logistic growth,
Explanation for incorrect answer :
Option a) 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 b)
Option d) straight line graph. Straight line graph represents static or no change in the population growth with respect to time.
