Examine the characteristics of logistic growth by completing each statement. Not all choices will be used. *1 S exponential four competition follicular lag two J stable equilibrium Logistic growth results in a(n) curve when graphed. This growth curve exhibits time. The phase exhibits a slow growth rate due to the small number of individuals within the population early on. Exponential growth slows as increases during the deceleration phase. As the population size grows, the growth rate will accelerate due to biotic potential during what is called the growth phase. -shaped growth distinct phases over Finally, the carrying capacity is reached during the < Prey n for resources phase where birth and death rates are equal

During a one-year period, a population of rabbits has a birth rate of 0.8 and a death rate of 0.1. The rabbit population consists of 50 organisms (at the beginning of the year). Which of the following is true about the rabbit population during this one-1 year period? O The rabbit population would increased by 35 rabbits during this year. O The rabbit population would decrease by 35 rabbits during this year O There would be a total of 500 rabbits at the end of the year 500 rabbits were born during the year.
The data below represent a cohort of organism “X”, tracked from birth to death.

For each column you need to ensure you indicate how you performed your calculation (e.g. show one example calculation or provide a formula). b) Plot a survivorship curve for species X using semi-log graph paper.
