• community

The prey population distribution is limited by

• too many prey

• hours of sunlight

• the type of food

• predator removal

Which of the following is not abiotic

• sunlight

• wind

• temperature

• salinity

• predators

The pattern of spacing among individuals within the geographic boundaries is called

• boundaries

• dispersion

• pursuing

• separation

(births + immigration) - (deaths + emigration) =

• different trophic levels

• population replacement

• change in population size

• evolution

What type of population growth model is this?

• logistic

• exponential

• realistic

• practical

When a population grows rapidly then reaches its carrying capacity, it is this type of growth model

• bell curve

• simplistic

• logistic

• hyperbole
