A population of geese have very few limits on its growth. This is what could be said about its growth.
What is growing exponentially?
100
This term includes a species physical home and environmental factors necessary for survival.
What is niche?
100
This term means the number of individuals per square unit. An example is number of wild pigs per square kilometer.
What is density?
200
Name he negative symbiotic relationships.
What is competition, parasitism, predation?
200
Population size changes in a given period of time is called this....
What is growth rate?
200
This term means the arrangement of its individuals in a given space.
What is dispersion?
200
What can produce 19 million descendants in a few days and has a high reproductive potential.
What is bacteria?

Density Dependent or Density Independent
Crowded individuals densely packed together. Population growing rapidly.
What is Density Dependent?
300
Commensalism - Describe relationship between species and give an example.
What is one species benefits and the other is unaffected. An example is birds nest in a tree. Another example is orchids growing in a tree.
300
1. Give an example of a population 2. Describe what happens to a population in exponential growth.
1. What is all pine trees in a forest? 2. What is population increases dramatically?
300
This is how populations are described.
What are by size, density and dispersion?
300
1. This term is the maximum number of offspring that each member of a population can produce. 2 This hs the greatest effect on the above term.
1. What is reproductive potential? 2. What is reproducing early in life?
300
Density Dependent or Density Independent
Affects all members of a population in a uniform way EX: weather, forest fire, natural disasters.
What is Density Independent?
400
Describe parasitism and give an example.
Describe predation and give an example.
Parasitism - one species benefits the other is harmed
An example is a tick on a dog.
Predation - one species benefits the other is killed and eaten. An example is a snake eating a mouse.
400
1. This term means the maximum population an ecosystem can support indefinitely. 2. Name some limiting resources.
1. What is carrying capacity? 2. Competition, limited water, sunlight and nutrients.
400
1. This term means the given period of time required for a population to increase in size. 2. This term means adaptations occur to reduce harm and help relationships between species.
1. What is generation time? 2. What is coevolution?
400
Habitat implies this _________________ whereas a niche is an organisms pattern of use in its habitat.
What is location?
400
This term can be described as clumped, uniform or random in regard to distribution of individuals.
What is dispersion?
500
Describe mutualism and give an example.
Describe competition and give an example.
Mutualism- both species benefit. An example is acacia trees and ants - tree food and shelter for ant and ant defends tree.
Competition - both species are negatively affected. An example is many birds eating at one bird feeder.

Two adults have only 2 offspring and each offspring lives and reproduces. This happens over a long period of time. What happens to the population?
