(N/A) The given graph represents the Logistic Growth Curve.
$1$. $A$ population growing in a habitat with limited resources initially shows a lag phase,followed by phases of acceleration and deceleration,and finally an asymptote when the population density reaches the carrying capacity $(K)$.
$2$. $A$ plot of population density $(N)$ in relation to time $(t)$ results in a sigmoid curve.
$3$. Here,$r$ is the intrinsic rate of natural increase,and $K$ is the carrying capacity of the environment.
$4$. This type of population growth is called the Verhulst-Pearl Logistic Growth and is described by the equation:
$\frac{dN}{dt} = rN \left( \frac{K-N}{K} \right)$
$5$. The term $\left( \frac{K-N}{K} \right)$ represents environmental resistance.
