In logistic growth (an s-shaped curve), how does the population growth rate change as the population nears its carrying capacity

?

The logistic growth curve is given by the differential equation,

\frac{dN}{dt} = rN(1-\frac{N}{k})

When the rate of change in population approaches the maximum carrying capacity, the curve starts to flatten or become saturated.

The left hand of the differential equation becomes zero and attains a steady state equilibrium at,

rN(1-\frac{N}{k}) = 0

(1-\frac{N}{k}) = 0

Hence, at N = k.

The right end of the logistic growth curve shows the flattening of the curve while reaching the maximum carrying capacity.

AveGali [126]

The correct answer is option C, that is, regulate water loss.  

Guard cells refer to the cells enclosing each stomata. They assist in monitoring the rate of transpiration by closing and opening the stomata. The guard cells possess the tendency to monitor the closing and opening of stomata by changing shape. The shape of the guard cells modifies on the basis of the concentration of potassium ions and water found in the cells themselves.  

The stomatal pores get closed when carbon dioxide is no longer needed for the process of photosynthesis. The guard cells swell when movement of water takes place inside these pores, and thus, the opening of stomatal pores occurs, and as water moves out, the guard cell closes. Thus, guard cells play an essential role in regulating water loss.
