1. The expotnential population growth model is density-dependent.

True

False

False. The exponential population growth model does not take population density into consideration. This is why the model is highly unrealistic and only useful modeling the invasion of a vacant niche or recovery after catastrophe. Otherwise, as the logistics model demonstrates, high density will lower birth-rates AND increase death-rates due to overcrowding.
