Using the data shown in Table 1 (previous slide):
1. Draw a graph showing the growth of the species' populations with time: put all species' populations on a single
figure. Extend the y-axis to 180. Label the axes and provide a suitable legend.
2. Which species' population has the highest growth rate, and how do you know that?
3. For each species' populations, calculate the growth rate at time = 14? (N15 - N-14)
4. The carrying capacity of the environment with respect to any population is the maximum number of individuals that
can be supported. What do you think are the carrying capacities for these species' populations? Draw horizontal
lines on the graph indicating this for each species' population. Adjust your figure legend.
5. Assuming the original 10 organisms grew exponentially, doubling in size with every unit of time, calculate the
population size from t, to t, and draw the position of this curve on your graph. Adjust your figure legend.
5. If each species' population is in fact a population of the same species, provide two reasons why the growth curve of
species' population 1 is different from that of species' population 2.
