Question

A population of turtles was introduced to an island that is favorable for the turtles to inhabit. Describe what the population graph would look like for this turtle population over time and provide reasoning as to why the population would show this type of growth.

Answer 1

Answer:

The turtles would flourish in the ecosystem. The graph would be curved up and it would even out at the carrying capacity.

Explanation:

If the island is favorable for the turtles, that means that they will survive well and be able to reproduce and carry on the population. Of course, there is a limit to how much resources a population can have so it would even out eventually, making the graph show statistical growth.
