Question 661 • English Language Arts 10 - Second Semester

What is likely to happen to a healthy population that is experiencing exponential growth?

Answer
A
It will eventually reach its carrying capacity.
B
It will experience a population crash.
C
It will go extinct in the near future.
D
It will continue to grow exponentially indefinitely.

Explanation

Exponential growth can continue only while resources are abundant and limiting factors are weak. As the population grows, resources such as food and space become scarcer, so growth slows and the population is likely to approach its carrying capacity—the largest population the environment can sustain. It will not generally grow exponentially forever.
