The main difference between logistic and exponential growth curves is:
**b. Logistic growth curves stabilize when carrying capacity is reached.**
In exponential growth, a population increases continuously and without limits as long as resources are available, resulting in a J-shaped curve. In contrast, logistic growth accounts for resource limitations, leading to an S-shaped curve that stabilizes when the population reaches the carrying capacity of the environment.
