Biology Question on organisms and populations
The formula for exponential population growth is -
A
dN/dt = rN
B
dt/dN = rN
C
dN/rN = dt
D
rN/dN = dt
Answer
dN/dt = rN
Explanation
Solution
Nearly all populations will tend to grow exponentially as long as there are resources available. The formula for exponential population growth is dN/ dt = rN. In this equation d is the rate of change, N is the number of existing individuals, r is the intrinsic growth rate, t is time, and dN/dt is the rate of change in population size.
