Practice question
Question
Which of the following best describes a pattern of idealized population growth that is restricted by limiting factors?
Explanation
Logistic growth incorporates carrying capacity K, showing sigmoid curve where per capita growth declines as population nears K due to resource limitation, competition. Exponential model assumes unlimited resources, unrealistic long term. Thus logistic best describes density-dependent growth constrained by environmental limits.
