Q152 / 200 · NEET 2024 · Zoology

The equation of Verhulst-Pearl logistic growth is $\frac{\mathrm{dN}}{\mathrm{dt}}=\mathrm{rN}\left[\frac{\mathrm{K}-\mathrm{N}}{\mathrm{K}}\right]$. From this equation, K indicates:

  • A
    Biotic potential
  • Correct answer
    B
    Carrying capacity
  • C
    Population density
  • D
    Intrinsic rate of natural increase

Solution

In the equation $\frac{\mathrm{dN}}{\mathrm{dt}}=\mathrm{rN}\left(\frac{\mathrm{K}-\mathrm{N}}{\mathrm{K}}\right), \mathrm{K}$ represents carrying capacity.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
