What type of growth is shown in the graph?

• exponential

• logistics

• a good kind

• linear

What type of distribution pattern is evenly spaced apart from one another?

• Uniform

• Clumped

• Random

• Uneven

This is the most commonly seen distribution pattern. Example: wolves. This is usually because there are resources found in particular areas and the organisms need more space to survive.

• Random

• Uniform

• Clumped

• Ueven
