When the numbers of a species of bacteria double, then double again, then double again and double again (2-4-8-16) and so on at a constant rate, this type of growth is termed: Group of answer choices carrying capacity exponential birth rate minus death rate clumped population growth

Exponential Growth

Explanation:

Exponential Growth -

1. Can only be maintained by a population as long as nothing limits its growth.

2. In the real world there are limits to growth that each population will encounter.

•3. Eventually, shortages of food or other resources lead to a reduction in the population size.

4. Exponential Growth - growth at a constant rate of increase per unit time; and has no limit. for example, when growth proceeds at a rate similar to 2 4 8 16 32 64 ... etc., it is called.
