What is likely to happen to a healthy population that is experiencing exponential growth?
It will eventually reach its carrying capacity.
It will experience a population crash.
It will go extinct in the near future.
It will continue to grow exponentially indefinitely.
The correct answer is: It will eventually reach its carrying capacity.
Explanation: A healthy population experiencing exponential growth will initially increase rapidly; however, as resources become limited, such as food, habitat, and water, the population will start to stabilize as it reaches its carrying capacity. This means the environment can support a maximum number of individuals of that species over time.
