Study the population growth curves `(A` and `B`) in the given graph and select the incorrect option.

A

Curve 'A' shows exponential growth, represented by equation `(dN)/(dt) = rN`.

B

Curve 'B' shows logistic growth, represented by equation `(dN)/(dt) = rN ((K-N)/(K))`

C

Exponential growth curve is considered as more realistic than the logistic growth curve.

D

Curve 'A' can also be represented by equation `N_(t) = N_(0)e^(rt)`.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

Since resources of growth for most animal populations are finite and become limiting sooner or later, the logistic growth model is considered as more realistic.

Read the following text and answer the following question on the basis of the same : Growth of population with time shows specific and predictable patters. Two types of growth patter of populaiton are exponetial and logistic growth . When resource in the habitat are unlimited each species has the ability to relize fully its innate potential to grow in number . Then the population gorws in exponential fashion . When the resource are limited growth curve shows an inital slow rate and then it accelerates and finally slows giving the gorwth curve which is sigmoid .
