Scientific theories based on mathematical models are frequently used in sciences to reveal natural behaviour of systems and eventually to be able in predicting such behaviour once the system's parameters and relevant conditions are known and can be specified. The integration of accumulated theoretical as well as experimental knowledge allows us to present such a unifying theory underlying the equivalence between habit and habitat in population growth. While the focus of the initial development was derived from microorganisms, the theory is extended to other population types too. The biological interpretation of ‘inertia’ or ‘habit’-based processes is provided as a consequence of this theory, and its relationship to the population ‘resource utilization’ available in the ‘habitat’ is derived. This paper focuses on the link between the ‘resource utilization’, which is related to the ‘habitat’, and ‘biological inertia’, which is related to population ‘habit’. This link extends the context of population growth and predictive modelling of microorganisms.

基于数学模型的科学理论在科学中经常被用来揭示系统的自然行为，并且一旦知道并指定了系统的参数和相关条件，便最终能够预测这种行为。积累的理论知识和实验知识的整合使我们能够提出这样一个统一的理论，即人口增长中习惯和栖息地之间的等价性。尽管最初的发展重点是微生物，但该理论也扩展到了其他种群类型。作为该理论的结果，提供了对“惯性”或“习惯”过程的生物学解释，并推导了其与“惯性”中可用的人口“资源利用”的关系。本文着眼于与“栖息地”有关的“资源利用”与与人口“习惯”有关的“生物惯性”之间的联系。此链接扩展了种群增长和微生物预测模型的环境。
