Answer 1

In an ecosystem with unlimited resources and no predators, the population of a species would grow without any restrictions. This scenario typically leads to exponential growth, where the population increases rapidly over time. Therefore, the correct response to the question about the shape of its population versus time graph is:

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