____________________ This is a much more realistic way to represent population growth. This model accounts for the way that available resources in the environment, such as food, water, and shelter, affect population size.

For populations

of animals that move around a lot and are difficult to find, biologists often employ the 5.

________________method. In this method, animals are trapped throughout the population’s habitat, marked with a tag and then released

The number of organisms per unit of volume or area.

Biologists who study populations are known as

Population is defined as all organisms in a geographic area that belong to the same 1.

__________________ at the same time.

Individuals may also enter a population, which is referred to as   ________________ or may leave the population referred to as _____________________

_______________________ It says that the change in population size grows at an increasing rate.

__________________where biologists mark off several representative plots, count the

individuals in each plot and then calculate the population density based on the sample plots.
