A form of population growth in which the rate of growth is related to the number of individuals present. Increase is slow when numbers are low but rises sharply as numbers increase. If population number is plotted against time on a graph a characteristic J-shaped curve results (see graph). In animal and plant populations, such factors as overcrowding, lack of nutrients, and disease limit population increase beyond a certain point and the J-shaped exponential curve tails off giving an S-shaped (sigmoid) curve.
occurs when the growth rate of a mathematical function is proportional to the function's current value.
What else can I help you with?
What happens to population growth in a logistic growth pattern as it reaches carrying capacity?
The population levels off at the carrying capacity.
What happens to a population or organisms when limiting factors needed for the organisms to survive are not ideal?
When limiting factors are not ideal, the population may face increased competition for resources, reduced reproductive rates, lower survival rates, and ultimately decline in numbers. This can lead to stress, decrease in genetic diversity, and potential extinction if the conditions persist.
What happens when an environment has reached its carrying capacity for a population?
The population continues to grow.
What happens to a population under ideal conditions?
Under ideal conditions, population increases.
What happens when a population is in Hardy Weinberg's experiments?
rarely
What happens to a population that has not reached its carrying capacity?
If a population has not reached its carrying capacity, it will continue to grow and expand. Resources will be plentiful and competition for food, water, and space will be minimal. This can lead to rapid population growth until the carrying capacity is reached.
What happens to predator population when the prey population is eliminated?
The predator population also goes down because there is less for it to eat. This is called the food chain.
Population growth curve and explain the parts?
A population growth curve typically consists of four phases – lag phase, exponential growth phase, stationary phase, and decline phase. The lag phase is a period of slow growth as the population adapts to the environment. Exponential growth phase is characterized by rapid population increase. Stationary phase occurs when the population stabilizes due to limited resources. Decline phase happens when the population starts to decrease due to factors like competition or predation.
Which of the following describes the exponential growth of a species?
The rate of population increase stays constant.
What is the definition for exponential growth?
One definition I read was that exponential growth happens when more customers buy more products more often. This explanation was given by a marketing guru, Jay Abrahams.
What happens to population growth in a logistic growth pattern as it reaches carrying capacity?
The population levels off at the carrying capacity.
What happens when deported to Germany and You don't speak language?
About 70% of the population of Germany speaks English as a second language. If you don't speak English or German, you will eventually have to learn.

It will eventually die.
What happens to the Olympic flame?
it dies out, eventually
What happens to mankind?
Eventually? Extinction. The question is when.

You eventually become a nun
