Difference between logistic and exponential growth?

• Logistic growth occurs with limiting factors and results in an S-shaped curve, while exponential growth occurs without limiting factors and results in a J-shaped curve.
• Logistic growth results in a J-shaped curve, while exponential growth results in an S-shaped curve
• Logistic growth has no limiting factors, while exponential growth does
• Logistic growth is linear, while exponential growth is quadratic

Which of logistic or exponential growth can last longer?

• Logistic growth
• Exponential growth
• Linear growth
• Quadratic growth

Know how predation affects the prey and predator population?

• Predation has no impact on prey or predator populations
• Predation only affects the predator population by reducing their numbers
• Predation leads to an increase in competition for resources among the prey population
• Predation affects the prey population by reducing their numbers and can lead to a decrease in competition for resources among the remaining prey. It affects the predator population by providing a food source, which can lead to an increase in the predator population.

What is symbiosis and how plants defend themselves against herbivores?

• Plants defend themselves against herbivores by singing to them
• Symbiosis is a type of weather phenomenon
• Herbivores defend themselves against plants by growing wings
• Symbiosis is a close and long-term biological interaction between two different biological organisms. Plants defend themselves against herbivores through various mechanisms such as producing chemical compounds that deter herbivores, having physical defenses like thorns or spines, and attracting predators of the herbivores.

What is the difference between density dependent and independent factors?

• Density dependent factors are influenced by population size, while density independent factors affect the population regardless of size. (environment)

• Density dependent factors are unrelated to the environment.
• Density dependent factors are not affected by population size.
• Density independent factors only impact small populations.

An ecological footprint is?

• A measure of amount of land required to provide the raw material an nation consume

• A method for predicting earthquakes
• A type of endangered species
• A unit of measurement for air quality

What are biological control?

• Biological control involves using living organisms to control pests. (examples predators, parasites, and pathogens)

• Biological control is a chemical method to eliminate pests.
• Biological control involves using robots to control pests.
• Biological control is a method that relies on weather patterns to control pests.

what are invasive species?

• non native species that has spread far beyond the point of introduction causes environment damage

• native species similar to biological control

what are protists?

• Protists are only found in extreme environments.
• Protists are prokaryotic organisms.
• Protists are eukaryotic organisms that are not plants, animals, or fungi.
• Protists are multicellular organisms.

Evolution of eukaryotes and primary endosymbiosis

• Chloroplasts were formed through secondary endosymbiosis instead of primary endosymbiosis
• Eukaryotes evolved from prokaryotic cells through endosymbiosis, specifically primary endosymbiosis involving mitochondria and chloroplasts

• Eukaryotes originated from viruses instead of prokaryotic cells
• Primary endosymbiosis involves the incorporation of fungi into eukaryotic cells
