Population Dynamics
Population Growth
Exponential Growth
Carrying Capacity
100
a group of organisms of the same species that live in a specific geographical area and interbreed
What is a population?
100
Change in Population Size = Births - (?)
What is deaths
100
logarithmic growth or growth in which numbers increase by a certain factor in each successive time period
What is exponential growth?
100
the largest population that an environment can support at any given time
What is carrying capacity?
200
the number of individuals of the same species that live in a given unit area
What is population density?
200
an expression of the increase in the size of an organism or population over a given period of time. It is the birth rate minus the death rate.
What is growth rate?
200
This type of growth occurs in nature only when populations have plenty of food and space, and have no competition or predators.
What is exponential growth?
200
______________, such as food, water and shelter determines the carrying capacity of an environment for a particular species at a particular time.
What are limiting resources?
300
the pattern of distribution of organisms in a population
What is population dispersion?
300
A Population with a positive growth rate is _____________.
What is growing and/or increasing
300
A J-curve is another name for this type of curve.
What is the exponential growth curve?
300
Members of a population will ___________ for limiting resources as the population approaches its carrying capacity.
What is compete?
400
These are three types of dispersion.
What is even, clumped, or random?
400
When the number of births is equal to the number of deaths, the population growth is ________.
What is zero?
400
Utilizing the exponential growth curve in Graph 1, In what year did the population reach 400 individuals?
What is year 12?
400
Deaths occur more quickly in a crowded population when the cause of death is density ______________.
What is dependent?
500
