Question

What is usually true of exponential growth? Select True or False for each statement.
T/F The population is growing.
T/F The per capita growth rate is constant.
T/F The per capita growth rate increases rapidly over time.
T/F The per capita growth rate is very high.

Accepted Answer

Hello everyone and welcome to today's video. So if a population grows exponentially in the absence of an environmental resistance, what's going to happen to the population size? If the per capita rate of increase in such a population is zero? So the main note that we need to understand in order to solve this problem is what this per capita rate of increase means. And in case you forgot, I want to help you recall it. This per capita rate of increase is the difference between the birth and the death rates in our population. So if the difference between births and deaths in this population is going to be zero, then that means we have the same number of births and that's so if the same amount of people are being born and are dying in this population in a given amount of times it means that the population size will remain constant and looking at our answer choices. This is going to be represented by answer choice C. That is the final answer to our question, and I really hope this video helped you.
