<span>Which type of growth occurs when population growth slows or stops after a period of exponential growth?
Exponential growth is not sustainable because it would require infinite resources.
When the population is large enough, resources are consumed, and this slows the growth rate.
When the growth rate starts to slow, the population graph makes an S-shaped curve which approaches a maximum limit.
The bottom half of the S-shaped curve is exponential and the top half of an S-shaped curve is logistic.
Therefore, the correct answer is that logistic growth follows after a period of exponential growth stops.</span>
Answer:
A:1 only.
Explanation:
In order for a nuclear power plant to be decommissioned safely, components have to be taken apart and cleaned to reuse in a different location.
Energy is transferred from one trophic level in a food chain to another. However, not all the energy available at a trophic level is transferred to the next.
Only about 10% of the energy in the lower trophic level gets to the immediate higher trophic level and the rest is lost as metabolic heat.
Thus, if a food chain starts with 10,000 grams of phytoplankton, the quantity that will get to the highest trophic level would depend on the number of intermediate trophic levels in between the lowest and the highest.
For every step the energy is transferred up the trophic level in the food chain, 90% of it is lost.
