Question

Limiting factors to population growth ____.​
A) produce less pronounced effects as a population grows​
B) ​tend to increase population growth
C) ​are the same as the biotic potential
D) ​raise the carrying capacity to a higher level
E) ​prevent a population from producing a J-shaped growth curve

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Limiting factors, such as food availability, predation, disease, and space, prevent a population from growing indefinitely and producing a J-shaped growth curve, which represents exponential growth without constraints. Instead, these factors help maintain the population at or near its carrying capacity, leading to an S-shaped (logistic) growth curve.
