Question
what is likely to happen to a healthy population that is experiencing exponential growth?
it will eventually reach its carrying capacity.
it will experience a population crash.
it will go extinct in the near future.
it will continue to grow exponentially indefinitely.
In an ecosystem, resources are limited. Even a healthy population with exponential growth will face constraints over time. The carrying - capacity is the maximum number of individuals of a species that an environment can support indefinitely. As the population grows exponentially, it will eventually use up available resources and reach its carrying capacity. A population crash is less likely in the initial stages of exponential growth, and healthy populations don't typically go extinct during exponential growth. Also, unlimited exponential growth is not possible due to resource limitations.
