APES 3.1-3.2

This type of species puts energy into reproduction not survival.

• r-selected

• k-selected

• s-selected

• j-selected

This type of species has many offspring with little to no parental care.

• k-selected

NGSS.MS-LS4-4

Which of the following is not a characteristic of rapidly growing populations?

• Short generation time

• Long length of reproductive life

• Low fecundity

• Reproduce early in life

A J-curve represents

• exponential growth

When a population goes over the carrying capacity this is known as

• oscillation

• overshoot

• dieback

• exponential
