Populations- Limiting Factors- Carrying Capacity- Equilibrium- J-Shaped&S-Shaped growth curves

Question 1

Population:

Answer 1

Is a group of organisms of one species that live in the same place at the same time and successfully reproduce.

Question 2

Limiting Factors:

Answer 2

A limiting factor is any factor that limits the growth, distribution, or amount of a populations in an ecosystem.

Question 3

Carrying Capacity:

Answer 3

Is the size of a population that can be supported indefinitely.

Question 4

Equilibrium:

Answer 4

When a population is maintained at it’s carrying capacity that population is said to be at an equilibrium.

Question 5

J-Shaped Curve

Answer 5

J-shaped curve is produced when the population is graphed against time.

Question 6

S-Shaped Curve

Answer 6

S-shaped curve is produced when the population is plotted against time.
