Q. What is the typical shape of a population growth curve? How can the biotic potential be represented in the same way graphically?

A usual population growth curve number of individuals x time, linear scale have a sigmoidal shape. There is a slow and short initial growth followed by a fast and longer growth and again a decrease in growth preceding the stabilization or equilibrium stage.

The population growth as per to the biotic potential curve though is not sigmoidal, it is only crescent-shaped and points up to the infinite value of the scale (there is neither a decreasing stage nor equilibrium).
