  • Per capita death rate minus per capita birth rate
  • Per capita birth rate minus per capita death rate (correct)
  • Per capita birth rate plus per capita death rate
  • Per capita birth rate divided by per capita death rate
  • In exponential population growth models, when does exponential growth occur?

  • Product of per capita birth rate and per capita death rate
  • Difference between per capita birth rate and per capita death rate (correct)
  • Quotient of per capita birth rate and per capita death rate
  • Sum of per capita birth rate and per capita death rate
