A population of bacteria is grown in a Petri dish. Nutrients are not replenished
in the dish, and matter is not recycled when the bacteria die. Which statement
best describes how a graph of the population would look over time?
OA. It would show logistic growth until nutrients ran out, and then it
would decline sharply.
OB. It would show logistic growth until nutrients ran out, and then it
would stabilize.
OC. It would show exponential growth until nutrients ran out, and then
it would continue to climb.
D. It would show exponential growth until nutrients ran out, and then
it would stabilize.
