when the population of organisms in an environment nears the carrying capacity, what inevitably happens to the population growth rate?
a) changes from exponential to logistic growth
b) changes from logistic to exponential growth
c) continues growing exponentially
d) continues growing logistically

Explanation:

When a population nears the carrying - capacity of its environment, it transitions from exponential growth (which occurs when resources are abundant) to logistic growth. Logistic growth takes into account the limiting factors in the environment. Once the population approaches the carrying capacity, the growth rate slows down due to factors like limited food, space, etc.

Answer:

A. Changes from exponential to logistic growth
