Question

According to the logistic growth equation, when a population reached its carrying capacity, the population stops growing because

1) N/K = 1
2) dN/dt = 0
3) N=K
4) All of the above

Answer 1

When a population reaches its carrying capacity, the growth rate equals zero.

Step-by-step explanation:

The logistic growth equation describes how a population grows over time until it reaches its carrying capacity. When a population reaches its carrying capacity, it stops growing because the growth rate equals zero (dN/dt = 0). This is the correct answer to the question.
