Question
Study the population growth curve given below and answer the questions that follow:

  1. Identify ‘A’ and ‘B’ shown in the graph.
  2. When and why do such curves occur in a population?
✓

Answer

  1. ‘A’ - Exponential.

‘B’ - Logistic.

  1. ‘A’- Exponential growth - when resources (food and space) are not limiting/ when resources in the habitat are unlimited, each species has the ability to realise its full potential to grow in number in absence of checks.

‘B’ - Logistic growth - When resources become limiting/ competition between individuals for limited resources occurs, the fittest individuals will survive and reproduce.
