A form of population growth in which the rate of growth is related to the number of individuals present. Increase is slow when numbers are low but rises sharply as numbers increase. If population number is plotted against time on a graph a characteristic J-shaped curve results (see graph). In animal and plant populations, such factors as overcrowding, lack of nutrients, and disease limit population increase beyond a certain point and the J-shaped exponential curve tails off giving an S-shaped (sigmoid) curve.
occurs when the growth rate of a mathematical function is proportional to the function's current value.
In a given period of time it will double in size/number. Like in the film gremlins. If they increase every minute and you start with 1 gremlin, then after a minute you would have 2, then 4, then 8 etc.
Mathematically, it just keeps getting bigger. In the real world, there are limits, such as amount of food, land, air, etc. that prevents a population from growing without bounds.
Whenever there's a good food supply (and not too many things killing you).
When there are unlimited resources
when there is on competition
the organisims will eventually die off after their source of nutrients is taken away- eventually if no reliable nutrients are avaible, ther organisms will eventually become extinct
The population levels off at the carrying capacity.
The population continues to grow.
Under ideal conditions, population increases.
rarely
exponential
The predator population also goes down because there is less for it to eat. This is called the food chain.

One definition I read was that exponential growth happens when more customers buy more products more often. This explanation was given by a marketing guru, Jay Abrahams.
About 70% of the population of Germany speaks English as a second language. If you don't speak English or German, you will eventually have to learn.
eventually you will get liver diesease and eventually die
Eventually? Extinction. The question is when.
It will eventually die.
it dies out, eventually
You eventually become a nun
He dies.
