Detailed explanation-1: -J curve can be defined as the j shaped growth curve that graphically represents a situation in a new environment where the population density of an organism increases at an exponential rate.

Detailed explanation-2: -The increase in human population or other activity (such as energy use) is often described as a extreme exponential curve. These are described as a “J” or “hockey stick” to emphasize a flat portion followed by a drammatic rise.

Detailed explanation-3: -A J-curve depicts a trend that starts with a sharp drop and is followed by a dramatic rise. The trendline ends in an improvement from the starting point. In economics, the J-curve shows how a currency depreciation causes a severe worsening of a trade imbalance followed by a substantial improvement.

Detailed explanation-4: -1: Exponential population growth: When resources are unlimited, populations exhibit exponential growth, resulting in a J-shaped curve. When resources are limited, populations exhibit logistic growth. In logistic growth, population expansion decreases as resources become scarce.

Detailed explanation-5: -Solution : J-shaped curve represents exponential growth.
