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.

Difference between logistic and exponential growth?

Logistic growth levels off as it reaches carrying capacity due to limited resources, while exponential growth continues to increase without limit. Logistic growth is seen in populations that are influenced by factors like competition and limited resources, whereas exponential growth occurs when resources are abundant and population grows unrestricted.


What are the difference between logistic and exponential growth?

Logistic growth occurs when a population's growth rate decreases as it reaches its carrying capacity, resulting in an S-shaped curve. Exponential growth, on the other hand, shows constant growth rate over time, leading to a J-shaped curve with no limits to growth. Logistic growth is more realistic for populations with finite resources, while exponential growth is common in idealized situations.


What occurs when a populations growth slows or stops following a period of exponential growth?

When a population's growth slows or stops after exponential growth, it may reach its carrying capacity. This is the maximum number of individuals that an environment can support due to limited resources. The population stabilizes and can fluctuate around this carrying capacity.


Is yeast growth logistic?

Do you mean logarythmic? if so, then yes! Like any bacteria that replicates via binary fission, there is an exponential phase of growth where the yeast are splitting into two at their maximum rate. This will plateau out as resources deplete and toxic byproducts build up - stationary phase. The growth rate would then stop and the yeast will start to die - death phase.


When would expect to see a species go through a logistic growth pattern?

A species is expected to go through a logistic growth pattern when resources are limited. Initially, the population grows rapidly (exponential growth), but as resources become scarce, the growth rate slows down and eventually stabilizes at the carrying capacity of the environment.

Describe the factors that contribute to exponential and logistic population growth.?

Factors that contribute to a logistic model are limited resources which lead to a slower growth rate


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.
