If a population of 50 Paramecium present in a pool increases to 150 after an hour, what would be the growth rate of the population?
1. 50 per hour
2. 200 per hour
3. 5 per hour
4. 100 per hour
(d) Biotic potential is the natural capacity of a population to multiply/increase at its maximum rate under favorable environmental conditions. The population of Paramecium show 100 per hour growth, i.e., two individuals are produced by one.
