question 45
in an ideal, unlimited environment, a populations growth follows a(n) ______ model.
○ logistic
○ boom-and-bust
○ density-dependent
○ exponential

Explanation:

In an ideal, unlimited environment, there are no limiting factors such as resource scarcity, competition, or predation. The exponential growth model assumes that a population can grow indefinitely as there are abundant resources. The logistic model is for when there are limiting factors (carrying capacity). The boom - and - bust model involves cyclic population rises and falls often due to predator - prey or resource - population interactions. Density - dependent factors (like competition for food which is related to population density) limit growth in non - ideal environments. Since the question is about an ideal, unlimited environment, the exponential model is appropriate.

Answer:

exponential
