Module 4/5 Review

If the number of births in a population is the same as 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.

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.

What type of growth is shown in the diagram?

• exponential growth
• logistic growth 
• predator-prey cycle
• boom-bust curve

Largest number of individuals of a population that the environment can support...  

• carrying capacity
• population crash
• lag phase
• mutualism

Plants and animals that are not native to a habitat (nonindigenous)...

• predators
• biological magnification
• invasive species
• prey

What is the carrying capacity for this sheep population?

• 1.8 million
• 1.25 million
• 1.6 million
• 1.o million

Type of growth that occurs when disease and parasites are present...

• exponential
• J-shaped
• predator-prey
• logistic

When a population grows past the ecosystem's carrying capacity, what happens to the population?

• Continues to grow
• The population starts to die off to return to carrying capcity
• The population will go extinct due to lack of resources
• The population grows then finds a new carrying capacity

If the amount of food or resources available increases, the carrying capacity for an animal:

• Stays the same
• Increases
• Decreases
• Fluctuates

What type of population growth is depicted in this graph?

• exponential growth model

• logistic growth model

• performance curve
