Summary Introduction

To determine:

The following: - (a) The axis and the curve on the graph. (b)The dotted line. (c) The curve indicates the most rapid growth of a population. (d) The curve better represents the global human population growth.

Introduction:

The population growth referred to the increase in the number of individual of particular geographical area of a population. The increase in population over time can be represented by the growth curve. Growth curve can be exponential or logistic.

Exponential curve represent the exponential growth in a particular area and logistic curve represent the population decreasing when it reaches to the carrying capacity.
