Exponential Growth Model
liberstina [14]

Answer:

In exponential growth, a population's per capita (per individual) growth rate stays the same regardless of population size, making the population grow faster and faster as it gets larger.

In logistic growth, a population's per capita growth rate gets smaller and smaller as population size approaches a maximum imposed by limited resources in the environment, known as the carrying capacity (K).

Exponential growth produces a J-shaped curve, while logistic growth produces an S-shaped curve.
