Question

Select the statements that describe logistic growth. Select the TWO answers that are correct.

A. Logistic growth in nature is rare, if it exists at all.
B. Logistic growth continues until a given area has reached its carrying capacity.
C. Logistic growth occurs when the death rate is significantly greater than the birth rate.
D. Logistic growth is unchecked population growth because of unlimited resources.
E. Logistic growth is population growth limited by environmental factors, such as food and water sources.

Answer 1

B & E

Step-by-step explanation:

A logistical curve is S-shaped, unlike the exponential curve that is J-shaped. The logistical curve is the more natural population curve while the exponential curve is rare. This is because the population growth and numbers are always limited by environmental factors such as space, food, diseases, and etcetera. The maximum population numbers that a habitat can accommodate sustainably is called the carrying capacity. When population approaches the carrying capacity the growth in the population levels off hence the S-shape of logistic curves
