Question

choose the correct answer. what type of growth is represented by the green line on the graph? logistic (s - curve) zero negative exponential (j - curve)

Explanation:

• Logistic (S - curve): It has an S - shaped curve, which levels off as it approaches a carrying capacity. The green line does not show this leveling - off characteristic.
• Zero: Zero growth would mean the population size remains constant over time. The green line shows an increasing trend, so this is incorrect.
• Negative: Negative growth would mean the population size is decreasing over time. The green line is increasing, so this is wrong.
• Exponential (J - curve): Exponential growth has a J - shaped curve, which shows a rapid increase in population size without any immediate leveling - off, as depicted by the green line.

Answer:

Exponential (J - curve)
