If a country were doubling its population every 35 years, what would its growth rate be?

• 1%
• 2%
• 4%
• 8%

Use Figure 10-1.  Urban populations increased approximately ____% from 1950 to 2000.

• 3
• 8
• 40
• 68

The human population is currently following roughly a j-shaped curve.  This means that the population is growing

• arithmetically.
• sigmoidally.
• at a decreasing rate.
• exponentially.

Even if a country reduces its birth rate and maintains replacement-level fertility, its population will still continue to grow for several decades because of

• lower death rates.
• increased income.
• population momentum.
• better health care.

A species that plays a major role in determining the structure of its ecological community is

• a predator.
• a dominator species.
• the most abundant species in the community.
• a keystone species.
