Question

The term (K−N)/K
a. is the carrying capacity for a population.
b. is greatest when K is very large.
c. is zero when population size equals carrying capacity.
d. increases in value as N approaches K.

Accepted Answer

Hey everyone, let's take a look at this question Together. The growth rate of the population in logistic growth is represented by what so let's recall what we know about the growth rate of the population in logistic growth. To try to figure out which of the following formulas is the correct formula. So when we're dealing with the growth rate of a population, we have D. N. Over D. T. Which we know that the the here stands for delta. So we could say that the delta N. Over the delta T. And we know that delta refers to the change in so in this case it is the change in N. Over the change in T. Which we know that N refers to the population size and then the T. Refers to I'm so D. N over D. T. Refers to that change in population size over the time period. And then we also know that K. Is represented by the carrying capacity of the ecosystem. And then lastly are refers to the rate of Greece. And so looking at our answer choices which of the following best represents the growth rate of a population in logistic growth. And the correct answer is answer choice C. Because we know that the growth rate of the population in logistic growth is represented by that change in population size over time and that it equals the rate of increase for the population size multiplied by the carrying capacity subtracted by the population size divided by the carrying capacity. So answer choice C. Is the correct option. I hope you found this video to be helpful. Thank you and goodbye.
