Populations

The number of individuals in an area of a specific size

• population density

• birth rate

• death rate

• carrying capacity

You calculate population density by

• multiplying population and area

• adding population and area

• dividing population by area

• subtracting population by area

The number of births per 1,000 people in a given time period

• birth rate

• death rate

• limiting factor

• carrying capacity

If birth rate is greater than death rate the population will...

• increase

• decrease

• stay the same

If death rate is greater than birth rate the population will...

• increase

• decrease

• stay the same

If death rate and birth rate are equal the population will...

• increase

• decrease

• stay the same

The number of deaths per 1,000 people in a given time period

• death rate

• birth rate

• limiting factors

• population density

Individuals moving into a population

• immigration

• emigration

• death rate

• carrying capacity

Individuals moving out of a population

• immigration

• emigration

• birth rate

• carrying capacity

The largest population that an area can support

• carrying capacity

• population density

• limiting factor

• emigration
