Solutions For 9780131905429 Chapter 5 Problem 8STP

In a logistic graph, after the exponential growth of organisms, the growth slows down. This happens because they have reached the carrying capacity of the environment. This means that there are several limiting factors which are preventing further increase in the population exponentially.

Thus, in the given graph, the effect of limiting factors is shown by C, D and E. Thus, the answer is.

The point A shows the reproductive phase and B shows the exponential phase.
