A population that's exhibiting exponential growth

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Exponential growth is characterized by a growth rate that is proportional to the current total. This means that the population will continue to increase rapidly over time, without a decrease in growth rate or an equal number of births and deaths. Option C is incorrect because doubling every year would indicate exponential growth, but not all populations experiencing exponential growth will double in size each year. Option B is incorrect because, as stated before, exponential growth does not exhibit a decreased growth rate over time. Option D is also incorrect because an equal number of births and deaths would result in a stable population size and not exponential growth.
