Population growth follows an exponential curve until it reaches the carrying capacity, or the maximum population size supportable by the environment. The logistic growth model accounts for this, with population growth slowing as it approaches the environmental limits. Carrying capacity is influenced by factors like available food, competition, and interactions with predators and diseases.

Logistic growth model

3.  Population growth is the
change in a population over
time, In biology, the
term population growth is likely
to refer to any known
organism.

4. Rate at which a population
of a given species will
increase when no limits are
placed on its rate of growth

5. r= (b-d) + (i-e)

7.  In population ecology,
the carrying capacity is
the population size at which
the population growth rate
equals zero. Population size is
constrained by food
availability, competition with
other species, and interactions
with predators and diseases.
