Detailed explanation-1: -Biological exponential growth is the unrestricted growth of a population of organisms, occurring when resources in its habitat are unlimited.
Detailed explanation-2: -Summary. Exponential growth takes place when a population’s per capita growth rate stays the same, regardless of population size, making the population grow faster and faster as it gets larger.
Detailed explanation-3: -Figure 45.2A. 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-4: -exponential growth: Continuous increase or decrease in a population in which the rate of change is proportional to the number of individuals at any given time.
Detailed explanation-5: -The difference between geometric growth and exponential growth is, geometric growth is discrete (due to the fixed ratio) whereas exponential growth is continuous. With geometric growth, a fixed number is multiplied to x whereas with exponential growth, a fixed number is raised to the x.
