A newly mated queen ant establishes an ant nest in an unoccupied patch of suitable habitat. The population of the nest grows quickly at first, then levels off at carrying capacity. Which of the following types of equation will best describe its population growth? a. logistic

b. quadratic

c. exponential

d. linear

e. circular

Answer: (A) Logistic

Explanation:

The logistic equation is the term which is used to define about the various types of population growth by using the logarithmic curve and this type of logistic model also describe the growth of the population by using the main types of growth that are:

Geometric growth Arithmetic growth

According to the given question, the logistics equation is one of the type of equation which is used to describe about the overall population growth of the nest. In the logistics equation, the capita growth and the carrying capacity are constant.

Therefore, Option (A) is correct answer.
