Identify the population that is not likely to show the type of growth that is shown at number 1 in the figure.
A. A new species with a high rate of reproduction introduced into a national park where there is plenty of food and no predators
B. Algae growing in water that is experiencing fertilizer run-off from farming
C. An apex predator that is established in an ecosystem
D. Human population in the age of industrialization and technology
参考答案: C
本题详细解析:
Exponential growth is a fast iuxj*6j01by x2p*h vg wncrease in the size of a population, where growth rates exceed death rates by more each generation. Option A is a situation that has all the requirements for such rapid growth. Option B, also known as an algal bloom, would also show this type of growth. Option D is a classic example of exponential growth. Apex predators need too much food and area to grow exponentivbxp hgw0 1*2xy6 jj*ually, so option C is the correct choice.
