Describing Populations

As a population grows, it will most likely stop growing at what size?

• Growth limit
• Exponential limit
• Carrying Capacity
• It won't stop growing

The carrying capacity of an environment for a particular species at a particular time is determined by the

• number of individuals in the species.
• distribution of the population.
• reproductive potential of the species.
• supply of the most limited resources

A population is...

• A group of one species in one area
• Multiple species that live in one area
• All of the living and nonliving things in an area
• None of these

What will happen to the population when the death rate is larger than the birth rate?

• grow
• shrink
• stay the same
• None of these

What will happen to the population when the birth rate is larger than the death rate?

• grow
• shrink
• stay the same

Which will add more organisms to a population? 

• 5 animals die
• 0 animals are born
• 3 animals immigrate to the population
• 2 animals emmigrate from the population

What factor describes when populations decrease because animals are moving out of a population?

• Emigration
• Limiting Factors
• Immigration
• Exponential Growth

As a population of a species increases within a territory, which of the following most likely also increases?

• Food supply

• Carrying capacity

• Competition

The number of births in a population during a certain time period.

• Birth Rate
• Death Rate

The number of deaths in a population during a certain time period.
