Question

As a population approaches the carrying capacity of its habitat, the ____-shaped curve of its exponential growth is converted to a(n) ____-shaped curve of logistic growth that fluctuates around a certain level?
a. I; U
b. I; L
c. J; S
d. L; V
e. S; J

Answer 1

Answer:

J shaped to S shaped

Explanation:

A normal population that is not affected any challenges will grow at an exponential rate until it approaches the carrying capacity.

Carrying capacity is the maximum number of a population that can be sustained indefinitely in a given enviroment.

On a growth curve representing population over Time. It will be represented by the J-shaped curve.

As the population starts to approach the carrying capacity. It will be converted into the S shaped curve that fluctuates  around a certain level.
