Population Ecology

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

Which kind of growth does the human population follow? It is described as a J-shaped curve.

• Exponential Growth
• Logistic Growth
• Outstanding Growth
• Minimal Growth

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
