Answer 1

In an ecosystem with unlimited resources and no predators, the population of the species would typically increase without any constraints. Therefore, the correct response is:

**a curve that increases exponentially as time passes.**

This reflects the exponential growth model, where the population size grows at a constant rate over time.
