What is logistic and exponential growth?

### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Definition of Growth Models**: - **Exponential Growth**: This type of growth occurs when resources are unlimited. It is characterized by a rapid increase in population size, represented by a J-shaped curve on a graph. The population grows exponentially, meaning it doubles at regular intervals under ideal conditions. - **Logistic Growth**: In contrast, logistic growth occurs when resources are limited. This growth is represented by an S-shaped (sigmoid) curve on a graph. Initially, the population grows rapidly, but as resources become scarce, the growth rate slows down and eventually stabilizes when the population reaches the carrying capacity of the environment. 2. **Graphical Representation**: - **Exponential Growth Curve**: The graph starts with a slow increase, then rises steeply as the population grows rapidly due to abundant resources. ...

    What is a logistic growth ?

    In the exponential growth equation

    Assertion: Logistic growth model is considered a more realistic as compared to exponential growth model. Reason: Resources for growth for most animal population are finite and becomes limiting sooner or later.
