Which of the following are true for a population that is increasing according to the exponential growth equation? Choose all that are true. per capita birth rate is always greater than per capita death rate O r is constant O ris greatest when the population is greatest the population would continue to grow forever the population grows as if resources are never limiting growth doubling time is constant
The discrete logistic function (the one you can solve with your calculator) has a time lag built in = one generation. What would a greater time lag do to the outcome? increase the chances of population exceeding K decrease the chances of population exceeding K slow down population growth by decreasing r increase population growth by increasing r it would have little/no effect under all circumstances
The per-capita birth rate of individuals in a population is 0.8, and the per-capita death rate of individuals in the same population is 0.6. Given these rates, what is happening to the size of the population? constant decreasing increasing nearing half of K random
When the conditions are favorable for a population at low density, such as when a species colonizes a new environment, population growth is typically O logistic. exponential. tangential. dynamic.
In the logistic model of population growth, the the later decelerating phase. separates the early accelerating phase of population growth from none of these number of individuals O inflection point O density
Examine the characteristics of logistic growth by completing each statement. Not all choices will be used. *1 S exponential four competition follicular lag two J stable equilibrium Logistic growth results in a(n) curve when graphed. This growth curve exhibits time. The phase exhibits a slow growth rate due to the small number of individuals within the population early on. Exponential growth slows as increases during the deceleration phase. As the population size grows, the growth rate will accelerate due to biotic potential during what is called the growth phase. -shaped growth distinct phases over Finally, the carrying capacity is reached during the < Prey n for resources phase where birth and death rates are equal
From a population perspective under a constant reproductive rate of 1.1 female offspring per female per lifetime, the population will grow faster with a shorter generation time O a longer generation time generation time doesn't change the growth rate
In a graph of population size versus time, a J-shaped curve is characteristic of (a) exponential population growth (b) logistic population growth (c) zero population growth (d) replacement-level fertility (e) population growth momentum
The largest population that can be maintained by a particular environment for an indefinite period is known as a (a) semelparous population (b) population undergoing exponential growth (c) metapopulation (d) populations carrying capacity (e) source population
The model of exponential population growth predicts that the per capita population growth rate r: a. does not change as a population gets larger. b. gets larger as a population gets larger. c. gets smaller as a population gets larger. d. is always at its maximum level (rmax). e. fluctuates on a regular cycle.
Assuming that a population is not near the carrying capacity of its environment, what is likely to occur if the number of pre-reproductive and reproductive members of a population is greater than the number of postreproductive members? O the population density will increase the population growth rate will decrease the population will remain at the same density
