The logistic population growth is expressed by the equation

A

`dN//dt=rN`

B

`dN//dt=rN (N-K)/(N)`

C

`dt//dN=Nr (K-N)/(K)`

D

`dN//dt=rN (K-N)/(K)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Logistic growth describes a situation in which resources present in the environment are limiting in nature a given habitat has enough resources to support a maximum possible number.
`(dN)/(dt)=rN[(K-N)/(K)]`
Where N = Population density at time
r = Intrinsic rate of natural increase
K = Carrying capacity.

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 . The population growth is generally descibed by the following equations : dN//dt = rN(K-N)//K What does 'r' represent in the given equation ?
