Q

How did we get so big

A

Move globally increase diversity
Increased caring capacity with farming sanitation sewage medical technology etc.
Sidestepped limiting factors

23
Q

Eutrophication

A

Over nutrifying

24
Density dependent factors 2
Higher population = greater decrease in population
25
Density independent factors
Higher population number cause factors to become dependent
26
Biodiversity
Life variety
27
Extinction
Species disappears from entire biosphere
28
What 3 things alway have variety beneficial in its ecosystem
Genetic diversity Species diversity Ecosystem diversity
29

34
5factors that threaten biodiversity
``` Over exploitation Habitat loss Fragmentation of habitat Pollution (acid rain and eutrophication) Introduced species (invasive exotic) ```
35
Over exploitation
Over use
36
Habitat loss
#1 cause of extinction
37
Fragmentation of habitat
Separating areas
38
