Question

Plants such as leafy spurge can double their population size every year in part because of their efficient production of large amounts of seeds. Populations that can double every year, such as leafy spurge,
a. will do so endlessly, eventually achieving a global distribution.
b. are examples of logistic growth.
c. probably have more predators than other species.
d. exhibit exponential growth as they spread to new regions. Group of answer choices

Answer 1

Answer:

Option D is correct.

Explanation:

Euphorbia esula is commonly known as leafy spurge, it's a creeping perennial native from central Europe, and most of north Asia.

The leafy spurge has deep roots, that store vital nutrients that allow the plant to recover from most control efforts.

Each plant can produce around 140 seeds per flowering shoot, these seeds are then expelled up to 15 ft. They can subsist up to 8 years in the soil.

This allows the plant to grow exponentially as it infests new regions.
