Population Practice!

A population of Goldfinches has 20 births and 10 deaths during a year. The population will

• Increase
• Stay the Same
• Decrease

A population of jaguars has 4 births and 6 deaths in a year. Also 7 jaguars immigrate in and 6 emigrate in. The population of jaguars is 

• Increasing
• Decreasing
• Remaining the same 

A relationship in which one benefits and the other is neither harmed nor helped. Example: Barnacle on a whale

• Predation
• Parasitism
• Commensalism
• Mutualism 

The graph is an example of a population with 

• Exponential Growth
• Logistic Growth
• Linear Growth 

The maximum population size that a population can sustain is its 

• Population Density
• Population Growth Rate
• Carrying Capacity 
• Exponential Growth 

A species with a high growth rate is a 

• J- selected species
• S-selected species
• r-selected species
• K-selected species 

Which type of growth is expressed with a S-shaped curve?

• Linear
• Logistic 
• Exponential
• Intrinsic 

People would be an example of what type of survivorship curve?

• Type 1
• Type 2
• Type 3

A resource that determines an organism's carrying capacity is called a

• Carrying Resource
• Limiting Resource 
• Exponential Resource 
• Logistic Resource 

If the number of births is greater than the number of deaths in a population, what will happen to the growth of the population?

• It will increase.
• It will decrease.
• It will stay the same.
• It will fluctuate.
