1. Why does population growth slow as size increases in the logistic model?
A due to a decrease in death rate
B due to an increase in birth rate
C due to density-independent factors
D due to density-dependent factors

Answer :

The answer to this question is A

The population growth slows as size increases in the logistic model due to the density independent factors.

What are density dependent factors?

A density-dependent factor is any force that modifies the size of a population of living creatures in reaction to the population's density. Disease, competition, and predation are examples of factors that depend on density.

What are density independent factors?

An element that has an impact on population size regardless of population density.

These density-independent factors consist of nutrient or dietary restriction, environmental contaminants, and harsh weather.

What is logistic growth?

In logistic growth, a population's rate of per capita growth declines as it approaches the carrying capacity, a limit imposed by the environment's limited resources.

How does the population change over time?

The variation in fundamental processes like natality, or the birth rate, mortality, or the death rate, as well as immigration and emigration, affects the population density in a particular ecosystem.
