Question

question 1 of 10
where does population level off in logistical growth?

a. at the immigrate rate

b. at the birthrate

c. at the carrying capacity

d. at the exponent

Explanation:

In logistic population growth, the population growth slows as it approaches the carrying capacity of the environment. The carrying capacity (K) is the maximum population size that the environment can sustainably support. So the population levels off at the carrying capacity. Option A is incorrect as immigration rate is about movement, not leveling off. Option B is wrong as birth rate alone doesn't determine leveling off. Option D is incorrect as exponent is a mathematical term not related to population leveling in this context.

Answer:

C. At the carrying capacity
