Question

as shown in figure 6, a graph of exponential growth looks like a j - shaped curve. exponential growth may occur when a species moves into a previously uninhabited area. a real - world example of exponential growth in a population occurred in 1859, when an australian landowner brought 24 rabbits into the country for sport hunting and released them into the wild. without predators, enough space, and plentiful resources, the rabbit population grew exponentially and spread across the country. after many unsuccessful tries to control the population, australian officials estimate todays population to be between 100 and 200 million rabbits. predict what conditions may occur when a population is in exponential growth? select all correct answers. a. birth rate is greater than death rate b. birth rate is less than death rate c. immigration rate is greater than emigration rate d. immigration rate is less than emigration rate

Explanation:

In exponential population growth, the population size increases over time. A higher birth - rate than death - rate (a) leads to population growth as more individuals are added than removed. Also, when the immigration rate is greater than the emigration rate (c), more individuals are coming into the population than leaving it, contributing to growth.

Answer:

A. birth rate is greater than death rate
C. immigration rate is greater than emigration rate
