In a population showing exponential growth per capita growth rate will A) decrease as population size increases B) increase as population size increases C) remains constant as population size increase D)increase initially and then saturate as large population sizes
Added by Simon S.
Step 1
Exponential growth in a population occurs when the rate of growth is proportional to the current population size, meaning the larger the population, the faster it grows. This is often represented by the equation dN/dt = rN, where N is the population size, t is Show more…

Populations grow exponentially when __________. a. population size expands by ever increasing increments through successive time intervals b. size of low-density population increases slowly, then quickly, then levels off once carrying capacity is reached c. a and b are characteristics of exponential growth
The model of exponential population growth predicts that the per capita population growth rate $r:$ a. does not change as a population gets larger. b. gets larger as a population gets larger. c. gets smaller as a population gets larger. d. is always at its maximum level $\left(r_{\max }\right)$. e. fluctuates on a regular cycle.
