Question 9

population density

Answer 9

number of individuals per unit area

Question 10

Answer 10

how individuals are spaced out across their range

Question 11

age structure

Answer 11

the number of males and females of each age in population

Question 12

what factors affect population growth .?

Answer 12

Birth date, Death rate, and the rate at which individuals enter or leave a population all affect population growth

Question 13

how do ecologists study about populations?

Answer 13

Ecologists study populations by examining their geographic range, growth rate, density, and distribution, and age structure.

Question 14

Exponential growth cause

Answer 14

A species is introduced into a new region with plentiful resources and few predators

Question 15

Exponential growth effect

Answer 15

Birth rates are high , death rates are low, the population increases steeply.

Question 16

logistic growth, phase 1 cause and effect

Answer 16

Cause : Species is introduced into a new region with plentiful resources and few predators,
Effect: Population decreases

Question 17

exponential growth, bad or good

Answer 17

A species is introduced into a new region with plentiful resources and few predators, GOOD!!!!! BIRTH RATES ARE HIGH, DEATH RATES ARE LOWER, AND POPULATION INCREASES !

Question 18

logistic growth, good or bad ???

Answer 18

Bad, capacity is reached, resources become limited, population deceases

EMIGRATION

Answer 20

OUT, PEOPLE EXITING

Question 21

EXPONENTIAL GROWTH?

Answer 21

GROWTH PATTERN IN WHICH THE INDIVIDUALS IN A POPULATION REPRODUCE/ GROW AT AN INCREASING RATE

Question 22

THE LOGISTIC GROWTH CURVE

Answer 22

SHAPED LIKE A S- SHAPED CURVE WHEN OCCURS A POPULATIONS GROWTH SLOWS AND THEN STOPS, FOLLOWING A PERIOD OF TIME OF EXPONENTIAL GROWTH.

Question 23

CARRYING CAPACITY?

Answer 23

MAX NUMBER OF INDIVIDUALS OF A PARTICULAR SPECIES THAT A PARTICULAR ENVIRONMENT CAN SUPPORT

Question 24

LIMITING FACTOR ?????

Answer 24

FACTOR THAT CAUSES POPULATION GROWTH TO DECREASE

Question 25

DENSITY DEPENDENT LIMITING FACTOR

Answer 25

LIMITING FACTOR THAT DEPENDS ON POPULATION DENSITY, INCLUDING COMPETITION, STRESS FROM OVERCROWDING , PARASITISM, DISEASE, PREDATION, AND HERBIVORY.

Question 26

DENSITY DEPENDENT LIMITING FACTOR COMPETITON

Answer 26

WHEN POPULATION DENSITY IS HIGH, INDIVIDUALS COMPETE FOR FOOD, WTAER, SPACE, SUNLIGHT, AND OTHER RESOURCES THAT MAY BE LIMITED.

Question 27

DENSITY DEPENDENT LIMITING FACTOR PARASITISM AND DISEASE

Answer 27

PARASITES AND DISEASES- CAUSING ORGANISMS WEAKEN THEIR HOSTS AND CAN CAUSE DEATH.

Question 28

LIMITING FACTOR

Answer 28

ANY FACTOR THAT CONTROLS THE GROWTH OF A POPULATION. DECREASE

Question 29

DENSITY, INDEPENDENT LIMITING FACTORS , ARE ???

Answer 29

ENVIROMENTAL EXTREMES INCLUDING WEATHER SUCH AS HURRICANES, DROUGHTS, OR FLOODS, AND NATURAL DISASTERS SUCH AS WILDFIRES, ENVIROMENTAL ISSUES/ CLIMATE

Question 30

RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN LIMITING FACTORS AND EXTINICTION

Answer 30

IF CARRYING CAPACITY FALLS LOW ENOUGH, POPULATIONS CAN BE WIPED OUT, LEADING TO SPECIES EXTINICTION. AN EXTINCT SPECIES HAS NO MEMBERS REMAINING LIVING

Question 31

Answer 35

BIRTH RATES, DEATH RATES, AGE STRUCTURE HELP PREDICT WHY SOME COUNTRIES HAVE HIGH GROWTH RATES WHILE OTHER COUNTRIES POPULATIONS INCREASE MORE SLOWLY.
