Delhi UMET/DPMTDelhi UMET/DPMT 2011Organisms and Populations

Solution:

When a population is growing in a limited resource, the population growth consists of five phases.
(i) Lag phase No or very little growth.
(ii) Acceleration Growth in the beginning.
(iii) Exponential phase Number of individual increases at an logarithmic rate.
(iv) Deceleration phase Rate of population increase slow down.
(v) Stationary phase Essentially no net change.
