Chemistry
Ecology
The number of individuals per unit area.
distribution
carrying capacity
density
none of the above
Describes how the organisms are spread out from one another.
Denisty
Volume
Distribution
Population pattern
What type of distribution pattern is evenly spaced apart from one another?
Uniform
Clumped
Random
Uneven
This is the most commonly seen distribution pattern. Example: wolves. This is usually because there are resources found in particular areas and the organisms need more space to survive.
Random
Uniform
Clumped
Ueven
What are the three types of distribution patterns?
uniform, clumped, random
uniform, uneven, random
uneven, clumped, random
uniform, clumped, uneven
Takes place when individuals move into a population’s range.
Immigration
Emigration
When individuals leave a particular area.
Emigration
Immigration
When a population continues to grow at a fast rate.
Exponential Growth
Logistic Growth
Carrying Capacity
Infinity Growth
This type of growth happens when an organism reaches its carrying capacity.
Exponential growth
Logistic growth
infinity growth
none of the above
The largest number of individuals that an area can support.
carrying limit
carrying capacity
limiting factor
density ratio
This is when an individual or population to reproduce under optimal (the best) environmental conditions. This rarely happens because of limiting factors.
Biotic Potential
Carrying capacity
Environmental Resistance
Logistic Growth
The sum of environmental factors (such as drought, disease, and competition) that tend to restrict the biotic potential.
Biotic Potential
Density dependent limiting factors
Density independent limiting factors
Environmental Resistance
Any factor(s) that controls/ limits the size of a population.
Density dependent limiting factors
Limiting factors
Density independent limiting factors
Environmental Resistance
Limiting factors that depend on the density of the population.
Density Dependent Limiting Factors
Density Independent Limiting Factors
Biotic potential
Environmental Resistance
Factors that do NOT depend on the number of individuals living near each other.
Density Independent Limiting Factors
Density Dependent Limiting Factors
Biotic Potential
Environmental Resitance
Which of the following would not be an example of a density dependent limiting factor?
fire
disease
lack of food
space
Which of the following would not be an example of a density independent factor?
predation
tornado
hurricane
fire
What does the yellow line represent?
exponential growth
logistic growth
carrying capacity
none of the above
This graph has an S shape. What type of growth does this represent?
Exponential
Logistic
This graph is a J shape. What type of growth does this represent?
Exponential
Logistic
