Week 12 Review - Population Growth

What is the carrying capacity of this population?

• 100

• 200

• 275

• 300

Which of the following populations would be characterized as having this type of growth?

• humans

• giraffes

• pets

• bacteria

This graph represents what type of growth?

• exponential

• logistic

• linear

Exponential population growth can be described as

• growth when resources are limited

• a j-shaped curve

• a s-shaped curve

• growth that reaches carrying capacity

Logistic population growth can be described as

• growth when resources are limited

• a s-shaped curve

• reaching carrying capacity

• all of the above

Conditions that slow or stop population growth are called

• limiting factors

• renewable resources

• climate

• conservation

What is a population ?

• Disturbance has removed vegetation but left soil intact.

• The natural birth, growth and development of ecosystem.

• All organisms of a species that live in the same area.

• A community of interacting organisms and their environment.

Which of the following populations would be characterized as having this type of growth?

• elk

• zebras

• lions

• humans

Competition, parasitism, predation & disease are examples of

• growth factors

• density dependent limiting factors

• density independent limiting factors

This graph represents what type of growth?

• exponential

• logistic

• linear
