Which of the following statements about exponential growth curves is true? a. exponential growth curves are common for r-selected species. b. exponential growth curves show fast growth rates followed by slow growth rates. c. no organisms in nature experience exponential growth rates. d. exponential growth curves are s-shaped

Answer;

A . Exponential growth curves are common for R-selected species.

Explanation;

-R-selected species are things like the cockroach. They are generally small and have short lives, so their best bet is to put their energy into growth. They grow quickly and produce as many offspring as possible to carry on genetic information.

-Exponential growth occurs when there is unlimited resources due to little competition; individuals produce at a constant rate. Logistic growth unlike the exponential growth occurs when there are limited resources due to competition; it slows, stops, and has a period of exponential growth.-In and exponential growth the amount being added to the system is proportional to the amount already present: the bigger the system is, the greater the increase.

1. is geographic distribution

2 is increasing complexity

3 is transitional forms
