Answer 1

Answer:

C.

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

C. Changes from exponential to logistic growth

Explanation:

If the environment allows it, then a population of organisms will grow exponentially to a certain point. The main reason why a population of organisms can have such a growth is the lack of competition, lack of predators, and more then enough food sources. That kind of growth can not last forever though and there is a limit. The population will gradually switch from exponential growth to logistic growth because the food sources are limited, and once the population nears to optimal number it has to decrease its growth in order to not come in a situation to starve to death because of too much internal competition.
