    The Verhulst-Pearl logistic growth is described     using the equation \[\frac{dN}{dt}=rN\left( \frac{K-N}{K} \right)\], in this K stands tor.

    A)  temperature in degree Kelvin

    B)  intrinsic rate of natural increase

    C)  carrying capacity

    D)  population density

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                    In Verhulst Pearl logistic growth equation, K is the carrying capacity. In nature, a given habitat has enough resources to support maximum possible number, beyond which no further growth is possible. This limit is termed as carrying capacity, denoted by K.
