Question

1. draw a graph of logistic growth. label the point at which the resources for the population cannot support exponential growth.

Explanation:

Logistic growth is an S - shaped curve. The point at which resources can no longer support exponential growth is the inflection point of the logistic curve. This is where the population growth rate starts to slow down due to limited resources.

Answer:

To draw the logistic growth graph:

1. Plot the population size on the y - axis and time on the x - axis.
2. The curve starts with a slow increase (lag phase), then has a rapid exponential - like increase (log phase).
3. The inflection point (where resources can't support exponential growth anymore) is the point where the slope of the curve starts to decrease. After the inflection point, the curve approaches the carrying capacity (K) of the environment, where the population size levels off.

Label the inflection point on the graph.
