Population Growth
Population Factors
Definitions
100

This system transports materials between the leaves and roots

Shoot system

100

This type of growth occurs at the terminal buds

Primary growth

100

In a population, when birthrate exceeds deathrate there is this type of growth rate

Positive growth rate

100

This is the maximum growth rate of a population under ideal conditions

Biotic potential

100

This is the total disappearance of a species and can be due to many things, including pollution, over hunting, improper land use

Extinction

200

The root system is made up of these parts

Roots

200
This is the direction of transport in phloem

Either - both up and down

200

Floods, hurricanes, and forest fires are examples of this type of variable that regulates population growth

Density independent variable

200

Size of geographic range, degree of habitat tolerance, and size of local population can help determine the danger of this

Extinction

200

This is the physical space an organism occupies in its environment

Habitat

300

Cohesion and adhesion of water are necessary for it to move up this in plants

Xylem

300

If a leaf blade is divided into smaller parts, it is this type of leaf

Compound leaf

300

Competition, parasitism, and predation are examples of this type of variable that regulates population growth

Density dependent variable

300

When environmental resources are used to capacity and the population stabilizes, the environment is said to have reached this

Carrying capacity

300

This is all the various populations at a particular location

Community

400

These types of plants have parallel veins in their leaves and flower petals in multiples of 3

Monocots

400

When water enters a guard cell, this happens

The stoma opens due to increased turgor pressure

400

In this type of growth, the population numbers are always increasing

Exponential growth

400

Larger individuals, long time to reach sexual maturity, few offspring per reproductive event, and caring for their young describe this type of populations

Equilibrium populations

400

This is all the living organisms and their physical environment

Ecosystem

500

Minerals and this travel up the plant through this

Water, xylem

500

Gardeners can make plants grow bushier by removing these and causing new growth to occur at these.

Terminal Buds, Lateral Buds

500

This is the survivorship curve where lots of young die and few individuals reach old age

Type III

500

When a population reaches this phase they are at the carrying capacity of the environment 

Stable equilibrium phase

500

This is the number of individuals per unit area or volume

Population density
