Observe the population growth curve and answer the questions given below:
State the conditions under which growth curve ‘A’ and growth curve ‘B’ plotted in the graph are possible.
Show Hint
Exponential growth occurs under ideal conditions, while logistic growth reflects real-world scenarios with environmental limitations and carrying capacity.

Solution and Explanation
Growth curve ‘A’ (Exponential growth): Possible when resources are unlimited and there are no environmental constraints.
Growth curve ‘B’ (Logistic growth): Possible when resources are limited, and environmental resistance impacts population growth.
