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.
