Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Logistic growth describes the sigmoidal-shaped curve of population growth seen when a population's growth is limited by resources and environmental factors, leading to a leveling off around the carrying capacity of the ecosystem. Exponential growth, on the other hand, refers to unbounded growth that occurs when resources are unlimited and there are no limiting factors. Zero growth refers to a population that is stable, with no net increases or decreases, while death rate refers specifically to the number of deaths in a population, rather than the overall growth pattern.
