Exponential growth implies that the rate of growth increases as time passes.
So, it's not that "one cell" becomes "two cells" in two seconds and "three cells" in three seconds - that's linear growth.
If you plot a chart of "Number of cells" against "Time" or "Number of cycles", the number of cells increases with a ratio greater than 1:1 each time unit or cycle.

Is continually increasing
when there is no competition When there are unlimited resources- Apex Exponential growth can happen anytime when the rate of the growth is increasing along with an increase in growth.

Exponential Growth is when the growth rate of a mathematical function is proportional to the function's current value. Exponential growth is when an animal or whatever object increasing at an increasing rate. For example 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64 etc. This is exponential growth because it is multiple by a consistent number, or two. The key part is that is it multipled not added which would be lineal growth.
The growth rate in an exponential growth will continue to increase over time. In logistic growth, the growth rate will increase until it begins to level off at at the carrying capacity of an environment, where the amount of resources determines the amount of organisms that can be sustained in a given environment.
