COMPLETE QUESTION: Which is a characteristic of exponential population growth? Options:

(a) Growth rate is inversely proportional to population size.

(b) Initial population growth is rapid.

(c) Resources are consumed exponentially during all phases.

(d) The lag phase follows rapid growth.

ANSWER: OPTIONS: B and D

EXPLANATION:

In Exponential growth strategy, the growth rate increases as the population size increases. This results as increase in natality and low mortality rate, hence it skyrocket the population beyond the carrying capacity.

Secondly, the initial population growth is rapid because of increased natality and resources to satisfy the population are still even.

Thirdly, the resources to satisfy the total population decline over time, when the population size is more than the carrying capacity, and this can results into competition.

Lastly, the lag phase is the first phase of exponential growth when there is rapid growth due to increased birth rate and evenly distributed resources below the carrying capacity.

if interdependence implies a two-way dependence, and if each partner is equally dependent on the other for success, then there is an equal commitment to the making the partnership successful. the advantage is sustainability of the relationship, the disadvantage is that decisions are "democratic" and therefore may take longer to reach and more likely to be a compromise (which is not always the best solution). as the interdependence moves away from equality, the decisions become more influenced by the more independent partner. in the extreme the relationship becomes more dictatorial and more like "master-slave". generally the relationship has less commitment in both directions and is more likely to be temporary.

if one generalizes (and one shouldn't), equity partnerships, which is probably what is implied by interdependence, can be slow to progress or change but durable. the extreme alternative, independent-dependent partnerships tend to be efficient but more fragile.

hope this but you will have to site your own evidence. : )
