Question

What pattern of population growth corresponds to the principle of a carrying capacity? what pattern of population growth corresponds to the principle of a carrying capacity? logistic a straight line j-shaped bell-shaped?

Answer 1

The answer is logistic growth. It is modeled by an S-shaped curve.  Carrying capacity (K) is the maximum individuals of a population that a habitat can sustain indefinitely given the limited resources in the environment.  Before this number is achieved, the population grows exponentially and slows as it gets close. When the K number is reached, the stationary phase enters.
