The correct answer is: Hyperbolic
Under continuous supply of food and space in the laboratory conditions the bacterial population grows exponentially and shows a Jshaped curve, thus the curve would be hyperbolic.
Such populations ultimately crash when the population size grows beyond carrying capacity.
