Carrying Capacity is

• the capacity of what one person can carry per day 
• how many animals you have in your daily bag limit at the end of the year
• wildebeest at a watering hole with zebras
• the maximum number of individuals that the environment can support

In logistic growth, what happens to the population growth rate as it approaches the carrying capacity?

• decreases

• fluctuates

• remains constant

• increases

Which one does NOT show a logistics model?

• a

• b

• c

• d

• y=0

• y=8

• y=8000

• y=0 and y=8000

• initially

• when P = 500

• when P = 1000

• when dP/dt = 0
