Population Growth
Silent
What should you do if you are sick or miss a day of biology class?
Any one of the following:
CHECK GOOGLE CLASSROOM!
Check the appropriate absent bin for the day you missed for any and all paperwork.
Ask a friend/neighbor for the warm up question.
What can you do if you finish work early in biology class?
Any one of the following:
Work on unfinished/missing assignments.
Read your textbook on McGraw Hill.
Review vocabulary words/notes.
Start working on homework (if applicable).
What are two expectations for active listening in biology class?
Any 2 of the following:
Give your full attention when someone is speaking or when we are watching a video.
Eyes up and tracking, voices off, and follow directions the first time they are given.
When we are taking notes in class, you should be actively listening AND note taking.
This causes a population to stop growing exponentially.
limiting factor
Any factor that affects a population regardless of its size is called this.
density-independent factor
Predation relationships are an example of this limiting factor.
density-dependent
Unlike K-strategists, R-strategists often have this type of lifespan.
Short lifespan
When 20 gray squirrels leave a forest, this is occurring.
emigration
An average of 78 Norway maple trees per hectare demonstrates this.
population density
A hurricane would be considered this type of limiting factor.
density independent
This type of organism reproduces quickly and produces many offspring, like a mayfly.
What is an r-strategist?
This happens to resources when a population nears carrying capacity.
resources become scarce
This type of dispersion pattern is not uniform or clumped.
Drought affects a population regardless of size, so it is this type of limiting factor.
density-independent
What type of reproductive strategy has high parental investment and little offspring?
Initial population growth in this type of growth is very rapid.
exponential growth
A distribution pattern in which individuals in a population are grouped closely together in clusters is know as what?
Clumped dispersion
This term describes the maximum number of organisms an environment can support.
carrying capacity
Humans follow this type of reproduction strategy.
k-strategy
