How is logistic growth different from exponential growth?

Answer:

The exponential growth model shows a characteristic curve which is J-shaped while the logistic grown model shows a characteristic curve which is S-shaped.

The exponential growth model is applicable to any population which doesn’t have a limit for growth. The logistic growth model is applicable to any population which comes to a carrying capacity.

The exponential growth model typically results in an explosion of the population. The logistic growth model results in a relatively constant rate of population growth. This happens when the growth rate of the population arrives at its carrying capacity.

Exponential growth is ideal for populations that have unlimited resources and space – such as bacterial cultures. Logistic growth is more realistic and can be applied to different populations which exist in the planet.

The exponential growth model doesn’t have any upper limit. The logistic growth model has and upper limit, which is the carrying capacity.

Exponential growth happens when the rate of growth is in proportion to the existing amounts. This is also true for logistic growth but the difference is, it also includes competition and resources which are limited.

The human immunodeficiency virus has been found to be the cause of? aids. paraphilias. refractory periods. an intersex condition

jeyben [28]

The Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) has been discovered to be the cause of AIDS.

AIDS or Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome is caused by the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). HIV is a retrovirus which contains RNA as the genetic material.

HIV infection can be transmitted through:-

sexual contact with an infected individual,

transfusion of contaminated blood samples,

sharing infected needles e.g. in the case of drug addicts who take the drug intravenously,
infected pregnant woman to the fetus through placenta.

AIDS adversely affects the immune system of an infected individual. ELISA or enzyme linked immunosorbent assay test is used largely for diagnosing AIDS.

Using what you know about the

Soloha48 [4]

The term mosaic is used in arts for an art piece that is composed of many small pieces of materials like stones or glasses. However, in biology it is used for a structure that is made up of different types of cells.

Now if we have to describe a biological mosaic structure , then there is no perfect option than the structure of a cell membrane of animals' cells. Cell membrane is not made up of two types of cell at all but it is a structure that is composed of a lipid bilayer in which proteins are floating as you can see in picture.

The structure was explained as mosaic by fluid mosaic model. If we take a deep look, the double layer of lipids are made up of phospho lipids, which contain two fatty acid tails and a lipid head. The heads are hydrophilic and are outside while tails are hydrophobic and they are inside. This structure has alot of importance as per the function of cell membrane because it maintains the cell's internal environment and separates it from outer environment. This is because

As cell is surrounded by an environment which contain water in excessive amount, therefore nature has made cell membrane in a way that hydrophobic tails do not face water and stay inside the double membrance while hydrophillic heads face the water region outside the cell as well as inside the cell (cytoplasm that contains alot of water content too).

Hope it helps!
