Answer:

Exponential growth has no furthest breaking point and populaces become rapidly. Logistic growth has a point of confinement and development approaches this cutoff in a sigmoidal manner. Logistic growth is more realistic, in actuality, yet exponential development is a superior model for bacterial societies, and so on that have boundless assets and space.

Answer:

Both models refer to the population but in different ways. One major difference is that exponential growth starts slow then picks up as the population increases while logistic growth starts rapidly, then slows down after reaching the carrying capacity.
