What eventually happens to a population experiencing exponential growth?

A form of population growth in which the rate of growth is related to the number of individuals present. Increase is slow when numbers are low but rises sharply as numbers increase. If population number is plotted against time on a graph a characteristic J-shaped curve results (see graph). In animal and plant populations, such factors as overcrowding, lack of nutrients, and disease limit population increase beyond a certain point and the J-shaped exponential curve tails off giving an S-shaped (sigmoid) curve.
occurs when the growth rate of a mathematical function is proportional to the function's current value.

What happens to a population or organisms when limiting factors needed for the organisms to survive are not ideal?
the organisims will eventually die off after their source of nutrients is taken away- eventually if no reliable nutrients are avaible, ther organisms will eventually become extinct
What happens to population growth in a logistic growth pattern as it reaches carrying capacity?
The population levels off at the carrying capacity.
What happens when an environment has reached its carrying capacity for a population?
The population continues to grow.
What happens to a population under ideal conditions?
Under ideal conditions, population increases.
What happens when a population is challenged by changing environmental conditions?
Many individuals in the population die off.
What happens to a population that has not reached its carrying capacity?
exponential
What happens to predator population when the prey population is eliminated?
The predator population also goes down because there is less for it to eat. This is called the food chain.

What is the definition for exponential growth?
One definition I read was that exponential growth happens when more customers buy more products more often. This explanation was given by a marketing guru, Jay Abrahams.
