Which of the following populations exhibit an exponential type of growth? the growth of sparrows, which is periodically reduced by severe winter weatherthe growth of bacteria in small cultures with limited resourcesthe growth of an elephant population, which is protected from hunting and has all needed resources

In this situation...The growth of an elephant population, which is protected from hunting and has all needed resources, is the correct answer. Both other examples have external factors influencing their growth, although sparrows and bacteria may reproduce at a greater rate, the elephant population would grow at an exponential rate as the species are protected.
