Question

In the equation $\frac{dN}{dt}=rN\frac{K-N}{K}$, K refers to:

• A. Population density
• B. Intrinsic rate
• C. Carrying capacity
• D. The base of natural logarithms

Answer 1

The correct option is C Carrying capacity

In the equation $\frac{dN}{dt}=rN\frac{K-N}{K}$
K = carrying capacity
N = population density
r = rate of natural increase
e = base of natural logarithms, (not shown in the equation).
