Exponential and logistic growth in populations | High school biology | Khan Academy

Rabbit populations grow exponentially when not limited by resources, space, or predators. Exponential growth has time in the exponent, causing a rapid increase in population size. In real-world situations, logistic growth is more accurate due to environmental constraints. Logistic growth models population growth with a natural carrying capacity, creating an S-shaped curve.

This was really helpful to supplement my degree course, you explained it really simply :) thank you

[atiarmyofrobots]

When the food resources&space are unlimited, exponential growth is possible which is J shape. It is limited in a certain amount, so it's logistic growth, which is S shape

This is great but, in my data I don't know the intrinsic rate of increase (r), can you show me how to do an exponential model using life history data?

[gemmaholman]

Hi Salman, I'm just looking for a video that explains intrinsic rate of increase and wondered if there were any on your channel? I couldn't seem to find any and need some help, please.

Thanks so much, I want to eat bunnies now

Would the table that he did, have the same out come as the equation: [time] ?

[kreme]

i'm confused on the percentage, isn't it supposed to be .1 since 10% is actually .1?

[koekfoewkoekfoew-dcwf]

you aint see lil light with the 1.2k buddy ain't see light

[ayeshasaddiqa]

why did we multiply it with 1.1 for an increase of 10% in population?

This video is being used as curriculum in the Arizona State University online class BIO182. I'm curious if this is considered an appropriate use of the content. Are you being paid for your lecture content by ASU?

[kidstimewithauntyanne]

im confused. please help!!!!
it makes sense when using 10%. but the moment i try to use 3% or 5% or any other i get lost. please help

[anonymousgirl]

It is hard to understand.. give definition

[koekfoewkoekfoew-dcwf]

you should not your this the little rabbit didn't even kiss every other and your learning about bio but not math

[koekfoewkoekfoew-dcwf]

i am better at making this show than he is

[fkictdn]

This all great really appreciate the video but could we get rid of the rabbits their cuteness is distracting me from the math.

[koekfoewkoekfoew-dcwf]

this is the worst show ever is worst than the mincraft movie I am steve
