Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Population growth rate is affected by birth rates, death rates, immigration, and emigration. If a population is given unlimited amounts of food, moisture, and oxygen, and other environmental factors, it will show exponential growth.

Detailed explanation-3: -Exponential growth is a process that increases quantity over time. It occurs when the instantaneous rate of change (that is, the derivative) of a quantity with respect to time is proportional to the quantity itself.

Detailed explanation-4: -Of course, a population will grow if there are more births than deaths, and more immigrants than emigrants. When conditions are ideal, i.e. when there are unlimited resources (food, water, space), when there is no predation, no disease, and no competition, then a population can grow exponentially.
