EOC Pre-Assessment LS2.1-2.3

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

• carrying capacity
• population crash
• lag phase
• mutualism

What is the carrying capacity of this population?

• 100
• 200
• 300
• 400

Which type of growth is best illustrated by this rabbit population?

• exponential
• logistic
• S-shaped
• predator-prey

If there was a wildfire in the forest that destroyed the plant life, what would happen to the herbivore population?

• Herbivores would decrease due to a lack of food

• Herbivores would increase due to an increase of food

• Herbivores would not be affected

• Herbivores would decrease due to an increase in predators

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

• Density Independent limiting factors start to occur resulting in the population going farther above carrying capacity.
• Density Dependent limiting factors start to occur resulting in the population going back below carrying capacity.
• The population will go extinct due to lack of resources
• The population grows then finds a new carrying capacity
