Question

When a population is growing logistically at what stage is the change in population size over change in time is greatest?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Answer--Exponential growth Malthus published a book in 1798 stating that populations with unlimited natural resources grow very rapidly, after which population growth decreases as resources become depleted.

Answer 2

This accelerating pattern of increasing population size is called exponential growth.

Explanation:

• Malthus published a book in 1798 stating that populations with unlimited natural resources grow very rapidly, after which population growth decreases as resources become depleted.
• This accelerating pattern of increasing population size is called exponential growth.
• Population growth rate is how fast a population changes in size over time. Population growth is determined by rates of birth, death, immigration, and emigration.
• In logistic growth, a population's per capita growth rate gets smaller and smaller as population size approaches a maximum imposed by limited resources in the environment, known as the carrying capacity ( K).
• Exponential growth produces a J-shaped curve, while logistic growth produces an S-shaped curve.
