What represents the growth of a population predicted by the logistic model?

In logistic growth, a population's per capita growth rate gets smaller and smaller as population size approaches a maximum imposed by limited resources in the environment, known as the carrying capacity ( K). Exponential growth produces a J-shaped curve, while logistic growth produces an S-shaped curve.
