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

A

Curve 'A' shows exponential growth represented by equation `dN//dt = rN`

B

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

C

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

D

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

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

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