Answer
Logistic Growth is a type of population growth that occurs when the growth rate decreases as the population reaches carrying capacity.
Solution
a
Initial Phase: Rapid exponential growth due to abundant resources
b
Deceleration Phase: Growth rate slows down as resources become limited
c
Stable Equilibrium Phase: Population size stabilizes at the carrying capacity of the environment
d
Mathematical Model: The logistic growth can be described by the equation dNdt=rN(1NK)\frac{dN}{dt} = rN\left(1 - \frac{N}{K}\right) where NN is the population size, rr is the intrinsic growth rate, and KK is the carrying capacity
Key Concept
Logistic growth model
Explanation
It represents how a population grows more slowly as it nears its carrying capacity due to limited resources.
