Where N = Population density at time t r = Intrinsic rate of natural increase K = Carrying capacity
Adjacent to a frequently-asked paragraph in the same chapter.
Assertion (A): Logistic growth curve reaches a plateau at carrying capacity. Reason (R): Carrying capacity is the maximum population size that can be supported by limited resources.
Correct answer: A — Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A
Logistic growth flattens as N approaches K, where environmental limits restrict further growth.
