The ability of a population of living species to increase under ideal environmental conditions – sufficient food supply, no predators, and a lack of disease.

The image shows an example of a:

An organism that tends to have a high life expectancy and takes care of their offspring longer is known as a

The amount of energy needed to make each individual is low.

Typically these organisms are smaller in size.

The amount of energy needed to make each individual is high.

Organisms reach maturity in a relatively short amount of time.

Quantity over quality.

Fewer offspring are produced.

Organisms reach maturity late after a prolonged period of parental care.

Typically these organisms are larger.

Short life expectancy.

Typically not affected by invasive species.

Long life expectancy.

Each individual reproduces only once.

Biotic potential is high.

Usually more adversely affected by invasive species.

Populations that are not seriously affected by sudden, unpredictable changes to the environment and are therefore near the carrying capacity.

Individuals can reproduce more than once in their lifetime.

Biotic potential is low.

Most organisms typically demonstrate an intermediate reproductive strategy.
