The correct equation for exponential population growth will be:
1. dN/dt = r + N
2. dN/dt = r/N
3. dN/dt = r N

Amensalism is a biological interaction where:
1. an organism inflicts harm to another organism without any costs or benefits received by itself.
2. two species interact but do not affect each other.
3. one organism benefits and the other organism is neither benefited nor harmed.
4. species derive a mutual benefit.
