Question

Study the population growth curves (A and B) in the given graph and select the incorrect option

• A. Curve 'A' shows exponential growth, represented by equation $\frac{dN}{dr}=rN$
• B. Curve 'B' shows logistic growth, represented by equation
  $\frac{dN}{dr}=rN\left(\frac{K-N}{K}\right)$
• C. Exponential growth curve is considered as more realistic than the logistic growth curve
• D. Curve 'A' can also be represented by equation $N_t=N_0{e}^{r}t$

Answer 1

The correct option is C Exponential growth curve is considered as more realistic than the logistic growth curve

Since resources of growth for most animal population are finite and become limiting sooner or later, the logistic growth model is considered as more realistic
