Swathi was growing a bacterial colony in a culture flask under ideal laboratory conditions where the resources are replenished. Which of the following equations will represent the growth in this case?

(Where population size is N, birth rate is b, death rate is d, unit time period is t, and carrying capacity is K).

  1. dN/dt = KN
  2. dN/dt = r N
  3. dN/dt = r N(K-N/K)
  4. dN/dt = r N(K+N/K)

 

Answer:

b. dN/dt = r N
