The human population is in an era of growth.?
exponential
The human population experienced exponential growth after?
the industrial revolution began
Explain exponential growth and logistic growth?
Exponential growth is when a population grows faster and faster and there is a population in explosion. This is unsustainable. The population will deplete and many will die. In Logistical growth the number of organisms are pretty much remained at a constant number of individuals.
What is a condition for a population showing exponential growth?
In order to have exponential growth there must be sufficient resources to thrive. The problem with exponential growth is that since the world is finite at some point there will be overpopulation.
Describe exponential growth and explain what is needed in order for this type of growth to continue?
Any time the RATE of increase is greater than one. For example : if a population were to double (note that 2 is greater than 1) each generation then it is referred to as exponential growth. Note also that there are now 7 billion people on Earth - exponential growth. What is "needed" for this kind of growth is an unlimited environment, since it does not exist in the real universe, exponential growth ALWAYS crashes.
What factor contributed to the exponential growth of humans?
Increases in resources & technology
What is a population in which exponential growth is limited by a density dependent factor?
the answer must be exponential growth model.
a bacteria population is growing exponentially with a growth factor of 1/10 each hour by what growth factor does the population change every 15 minutes?
The bacteria population has an exponential growth with a factor of 16 per hour. The growth factor has to be determined for the population change each half hour.
What is a growth factor in exponential growth?
implementation of exponential groth
When a population multiplies by a constant factor at constant time intervals it is called?
Exponential growth
When a population multiplies by a constant factor at constant time intervals what it is called?
Exponential growth :)
Which factor might not contribute to exponential growth rate in a given population?
Reduced Resources
What are exponential growth and logistic growth?
Exponential Growth: occurs when the individuals in a population reproduce at a constant rate.Logistic Growth: occurs when a population's growth slows or stops following a period of exponential growth around a carrying capacity.
The exponential model of population growth applies?
The exponential model of population growth describes the idea that population growth expands rapidly rather than in a linear fashion, such as human reproduction. Cellular reproduction fits the exponential model of population growth.
What type of population growth is at risk for a population crash?
Exponential growth
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.
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.
