How does the availability of resources affect whether a population's growth is exponential or logistic?

If resources are limitless than a population's growth will be exponential. Growth will be logistic in cases where there are limited resources. As the population grows closer to the logistical limit, the overall growth will slow.

What occurs when a populations growth slows or stops following a period of exponential growth?
Populations growth begins to slow down.
What are the difference between logistic and exponential growth?
That answer was offensive and stupid
Difference between logistic and exponential growth?
one is constant while the other continues by growing at a variable
Is the Pink Salmon an r or K strategist and does it experience logistic or exponential growth be sure to explain please?
it is a k
What is the difference between logistic and exponential growth?
look in your textbook
Describe the factors that contribute to exponential and logistic population growth?
factors that contribute to exponential growth is unlimited resources while factors that contribute to logistic population growth is limited resources.
Populations of species that are r-strategists are characterized by exponential growth?
Yes and K is Logistic growth
What occurs when a populations growth slows or stops following a period of exponential growth?
Populations growth begins to slow down.
Compare the exponential model and the logistic model of population growth. (?
An exponential model has a j-shaped growth rate that increases dramatically over a period of time with unlimited resources. A logistic model of population growth has a s-shaped curve with limited resources leading to a slow growth rate.
When does logistic growth occurs?
Logistic growth occurs when a population's growth slows and then stops, fallowing a period of exponential growthex; a lot of familiar plant and animal populations fallow a logestic growth curve.
Logistic and exponential growth?
A logistic growth will at first approximate an exponential growth - until it approximates the "saturation" value, when it begins to increase less quickly.
A logistic growth pattern from an exponential growth pattern?
The growth rate in an exponential growth will continue to increase over time. In logistic growth, the growth rate will increase until it begins to level off at at the carrying capacity of an environment, where the amount of resources determines the amount of organisms that can be sustained in a given environment.
What are two classifications of population?
Logistic growth and Exponential growth
What are the two classifications of population?
Logistic growth and Exponential growth

On a logistic population growth curve the growth starts to slow down after initial growth because there aren't enough resources to support as many new individuals?

Compare exponential growth with logistic growth?
Exponential growth occurs when numbers increase by a certain factor in each successive time period. Logistic growth is population growth that starts with a minimum number of individuals and reaches a maximum depending on the carrying capacity of the habitat. In exponential growth population grows slowly when it's small, but as the population gets larger, growth speeds up. In logistic growth, when the population is small, the growth rate is fast because there are plenty of natural resources. (Logistic) As the population approaches the carrying capacity, resources become scarce. Completion for food, shelter and mates increases between individuals of a population. As a result, the growth rate slows. Exponential growth, grows fast in the beginning and then slows down. Logistic growth grows slow in the beginning and then speeds up.
