J-Shaped curves

• show a decline after an increase
• display populations that have reached carrying capacity
• represent exponential growth
• does not depend on the numbe rof resources

Exponential growth of a population is represented by dN/dt=

• rN(K + N)

• rN^(N--_K^K)

• rN(^K_K^-N)

• r_maxN
