Question

The growth of population may be conveniently represented by [a]. semi-logarthmic curve [b]. logistic curve [c]. straight line curve [d]. all of these

Answer 1

a)semi logarithmic curve...........

Answer 2

[b]. The growth of population may be conveniently represented by logistic curve.

Logistic Curve:

• The growth of population is a logistic curve as the resources are limited.
• In such type of growth expansion of population may decrease as the resources tend to scarce, leveling off as the carrying capacity of the nature is attended which would result in an S-shaped curve.
• Logistic growth is an S-shaped curve that is used to model functions that increase initially, rapidly then and slowly later and level off at the maximum value after a period of time.

Therefore, the growth of population may be conveniently represented by logistic curve.
