What is a growth factor in exponential growth?
implementation of exponential groth
Unregulated populations tend to increase by?
Exponential Growth
Unrestricted populations of organisms experience what?
exponential growth
What occurs when a populations growth slows or stops following a period of exponential growth?
Populations growth begins to slow down.
Populations reproduce at a constant rate during this type of growth?
Exponential Growth.
What is a population in which exponential growth is limited by a density dependent factor?
the answer must be exponential growth model.
Populations of species that are r-strategists are characterized by exponential growth?
Yes and K is Logistic growth
How do you tell if its exponential growth or decay?
Exponential growth has a growth/decay factor (or percentage decimal) greater than 1. Decay has a decay factor less than 1.
What is the relationship between the terms exponential growth and limiting factor?
how to find growth rate with given growth factor
When individuals in a population reproduce at a constant rate it is called?
When individuals in a population reproduce at a constant rate, it is called an exponential growth. Populations generally experience this growth under ideal conditions.
Why is exponential growth unable to continue forever in populations?
The population loses genetic diversity
What causes expotential growth?
Exponential growth is when the growth rate is a function of the amount. Another way of saying it is, the more there is, the higher the growth rate. This occurs in just about all populations including humans. This growth will continue at an exponential rate until some other limiting factor reduces the growth rate such as famine or disease. For more information look up the "Law of natural growth and decay."
