Where does population level off in logistical growth?
2 answers:
<u>Answer</u>: B.At the carrying capacity.
<u>Explanation</u>:
- The <em>logistic growth</em> occurs in the environment where there is a limited number of resources and, thus the population cannot grow on exponentially. In such a scenario, the maximum population size that can be supported by the environment is called its <em>carrying capacity.</em>
- If we plot the logistic growth curve, then the population levels off after growing for a certain time and we get an <em>S-shaped graph. </em>
- An example is the growth of fungus in a test tube. The fungus grows in the test tube for some time but, then its growth levels off as the nutrients provided in the test tube get depleted.
