A characteristic of exponential population growth is that <u>resources are consumed exponentially during all phases </u>
Explanation:
Exponential growth is a type of growth where the population doubles its population size with each generation. Bacteria are the best examples of organisms that can exhibit this type of growth. However, just as the growth of the population is exponential, so is the consumption of resources. With each generation as the population doubles, the strain on the resources increases. This continues until the resources become depleted and cannot sustain the population numbers. Because resources are always infinite, this is why it is rare to find any population, including bacteria, sustaining exponential growth for long periods. Most common population growth is logistic (S-shaped).
Answer: Possession of traits that aid their survival in extreme conditions.
Explanation: Because archaea that grow in extreme environments possess certain characteristics that aid in their survival in the extreme weather conditions. Those traits are studied regularly to improve other plants.
