2.2 Limiting Factors Flashcards
Write an equation representing a population that has a positive growth
Births+Immigration> Deaths+Emigration
What does the variable r stand
the per capita rate of growth
Does an exponential growth model experience limiting factors
No
What is the variable K
the carrying capacity
what happens to dN/dt as N approaches K
the growth rate gets closer to 0
what does the variable N stand for
population size
What does the variable N0 stand for
the initial population size
When changing the N0 value what happens to the curve.
It goes up quicker
what does the variable dN/dt stand for
the population growth rate
What is Density-Dependent
the factors will only have a major impact of growth as the population gets more and more dense (Ex. completion of water, disease)
What is Density-independent
major impact of growth no matter the density
