Exponential population growth can be described as
growth when resources are limited
a j-shaped curve
a s-shaped curve
growth that reaches carrying capacity
Logistic population growth can be described as
growth when resources are limited
a s-shaped curve
reaching carrying capacity

resources being used up
natural selection taking place
none of the above

stress from overcrowding
parasitism
competition
natural disasters
As resources become less available the growth of a population
slows or stops
decreases or increases

What is a population ?
Disturbance has removed vegetation but left soil intact.
The natural birth, growth and development of ecosystem.

no growth
population growth
logistic growth
exponential growth
Exponential Growth occurs when-
populations have plenty of food/space
home to keystone species
have few evasive species in a habitat
have little to no competition or predators

density dependent & density independent
dispersion independent
density independent
independent density
