a curve that increases but flattens out as time passes

Answer 1

In an ecosystem with unlimited resources and no predators, the population of the species would grow without any constraints. Therefore, the shape of its population versus time graph would be:

a curve that increases exponentially as time passes.

This represents the idea of exponential growth, where the population size increases rapidly over time.
