Question

An organism's population has an initial biomass concentration of 200 mg/L, a maximum specific growth rate of 1/day, and respiration rate coefficient of 0.05/day. Assuming a logistic growth model, what is the difference in the predicted final biomass amounts (in units of mg/L) at t1 = 10 days and at t2 = 10,000 days? Assume the carrying capacity is reported to be 5,000 mg/L. 
A) 4990
B) Not applicable (error) - the model cannot be used.
C) 1000
D) No significant difference in resulting biomasses.
