Population Growth
R and K Selection
R and K selection are concepts in ecology used to describe traits in the fluctuation of a population or population dynamics. For example, they describe the life-association traits between parent and offspring, such as quantity or number of young ones born at a time, quality of parental care, the age to maturity, and reproductive effort.
Question

Transcribed Image Text:### World Population Growth, 1750-2150
#### Graph Explanation
The graph displays the growth of the world population from 1750 to a projected point in 2150. It distinguishes between two categories:
1. Industrialized Countries
2. Economically Developing Countries
#### Population Growth Over Time
- The Y-axis represents the population in billions.
- The X-axis represents time, spanning from 1750 to 2150.
- The shaded areas differentiate between the populations of industrialized and developing countries.
#### Key Highlights
- Population growth in economically developing countries (represented by the larger shaded section) increasingly surpasses that of industrialized countries.
- The year 1999 is highlighted as a reference point on the graph.
#### Question
Based on the graph provided, which of the following best describes its representation?
- Population in rural areas and population in urban areas
- Exponential growth
- Population in developed countries and population in developing countries
- Logistic growth
The correct answer to this question would be the representation of the population in developed countries and the population in developing countries.
#### Choice Explanation
- **Population in Rural and Urban Areas:** This choice is incorrect as the graph categorizes population growth by economic development status rather than urbanization.
- **Exponential Growth:** While the graph may show growth patterns, this option doesn't specify the categorical division shown in the graph.
- **Population in Developed and Developing Countries:** This option is correct as it directly matches the differentiation shown on the graph between industrialized and economically developing countries.
- **Logistic Growth:** This term describes a type of growth pattern, not the categorical divisions depicted in the graph.
Understanding these distinctions is crucial for analyzing population growth trends and their implication on global demographics over time.
