in an ideal, unlimited environment, a populations growth follows a(n) ____________ model.
logistic
exponential
density - dependent
boom - and - bust
In an ideal, unlimited environment, there are no limiting factors (such as lack of food, space, or resources). The exponential growth model assumes that a population can grow at a constant rate without any constraints. The logistic model accounts for carrying capacity (a limit to growth), density - dependent factors relate to population density affecting growth (like competition for resources when population is high), and boom - and - bust is a cyclical pattern often seen in populations with strong predator - prey interactions or in unstable environments. Since the question specifies an unlimited environment, the exponential model is the most appropriate.
