Q

Many organisms die at a young age

A

r-selected, Type 3

Q

a log graph

A

has a scale based on powers of 10

22
Q

How might an environment abundant with resources affect the curve of a r-selected species

A

The curve will likely look more like a Type 2 curve because more organisms survive longer
