Question

5 multiple choice 1 point

in order for this type of growth to continue, which of these must occur?
the environment must provide a habitat for a large variety of organisms
the organisms must migrate to a new environment
the resources in the environment must be unlimited
the organisms must adapt to a new habitat

Explanation:

The graph shows exponential population growth. Exponential growth assumes unlimited resources (such as food, space). If resources were limited, the growth would level off (logistic growth).

• The first option about a habitat for a large variety of organisms is not relevant to the population's own growth pattern shown.
• Migrating (second option) or adapting to a new habitat (fourth option) isn't the key factor for this continuous exponential - like growth shown in the graph. The key is resource availability.

Answer:

The resources in the environment must be unlimited.
