When does the logistic growth curve reach its asymptote? |
When the growth rate ('r') approaches zero When the population size ('N') equals the carrying capacity ('K') When the population size ('N') is greater than the carrying capacity ('K') When the population size ('N') is less than the carrying capacity ('K') |
When the population size ('N') equals the carrying capacity ('K') |
When K =N in a logististic growth curve, it is asymptote. A population growing in a habitat with limited resources show initially a lag phase, followed by phases of acceleration and deceleration and finally an asymptote,i.e. when the population density (N ) reaches the carrying capacity (K) Population growth curve is logistic, when responses are limiting the growth, Here, K is carrying capacity and N is population density. |
