Population Growth Models

If the number of births in a population is the same as the number of deaths in a population, what will happen to the growth of the population?

• It will increase.

• It will decrease.

• It will stay the same.

• It will fluctuate.

Limiting factors are sometimes helpful because they can keep the population from getting too large.

• True

• False

_{What type of growth is represented by this graph?}

• exponential

• logistics

• a good kind

• representative

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

• Continues to grow

• The population starts to die off to return to carrying capcity

• The population will go extinct due to lack of resources

• The population grows then finds a new carrying capacity
