Apopulation of fruit bats faces a food shortage when the fruit trees they depend on for food begin to die from the disease. what type of growth pattern will the bats exhibit? a) type i survival growthb) type ii survival growthc) type iii survival growthd) exponential growthe) logistic growth

The limiting factor is in the environment rather than the age, since the bats growth is only limited by the fruit trees they feed on. This follows the concept of carrying capacity of an environment, so this is best modelled by logistic growth. This is Choice E.

The Types 1-3 of survival growth are related to age, while exponential growth does not have any limits related to environmental capacity.
