Populations and Resources Unit Review

Which population would be stable?

• One with more deaths than births

• One with more births than deaths

• One with no births or deaths

• One with equal births and deaths

If more organisms are born than die, what happens to the population?

• It stays the same

• It increases

• It decreases

• The population stops reproducing

• Births happen less than deaths

If more organisms die than are born, what happens to the population?

• It decreases

• It increases

• It stays the same

• The population stops reproducing
