Growth rate of a population is determined by: A. The increase in the number of people per unit of time. B. The number of people being born minus the number of people dying. C. The number of children living per each two adults. D. The number of people times the number of children each one has per year.
When discussing population size, we are referring to
a.
the total number of individuals in a population.
b.
the size of the geographic region in which a population is found.
c.
the number of individuals in a population divided by the area of the region covered by the population.
d.
the number of individuals in a population multiplied by the area of the region covered by the population.
e.
the specific type of environment in which a population can exist.

- Give an example of how density-dependent and density-independent factors might interact.arrow_forwardThe carrying capacity (K) is the maximum population size that can be supported or sustained by a given environment. Which of the following statements about the carrying capacity is NOT true? Select one: a. We can think of K as some "average" value that a given environment can support. b. Environmental fluctuations cause the carrying capacity to fluctuate over time. c. Once a population reaches its carrying capacity, the size of the population remains constant. d. When a population overshoots K, individuals die due to lack of resources.arrow_forwardWhat is the major difference between density-dependent and density-independent factors? A. Density-dependent factors are more harmful. B. Density-independent factors affect the population despite the density. C. Density-independent factors are more harmful.arrow_forward
- Find a reference to the carrying capacity of Earth (for humans). It needs to be some estimate of the number of people that scientists estimate the earth can support. Note: this is NOT an estimate of what the population will be in the future; but rather what the earth is predicted to be able to support. BE CREATIVE and search more than one source. You will not receive credit if your summary covers the fırst article I see when I google this topic. In Canvas provide: • The estimated carrying capacity • Group/researcher who reported this estimate • How the group/researcher estimated carrying capacity (what variables were used) • Whether you think this is a reasonable estimate, and why or why not. The url for the article you are referencingarrow_forwardWhich of the following situations describes a population at carrying capacity (K)? Group of answer choices Births + immigrants > deaths + emigrants. Births + immigrants = deaths + emigrants. Births + immigrants < deaths + emigrants.arrow_forwardThe maximum growth rate of a population under ideal conditions iscalled thea. carrying capacity. d. death rate.b. fertility rate. e. biotic potential.c. birthrate.arrow_forward
- Maximum population an area can sustain A. Arithmetical Growth B. Carrying Capacity C. Intrinsic Rate of Growth D. Exponentialarrow_forwardAs a population size approaches (i.e. is almost equal to) carrying capacity for a certain population, which of the following outcomes is predicted by the logistic growth equation? a. The population growth rate will not change b. The population growth rate will approach zero c. The population size will increase exponentially d. The carrying capacity of the environment will increasearrow_forwardPopulation growth that is dependent on the number of individuals A. Arithmetic Growth B. Carrying Capacity C. Intrinsic Rate of Growth D. Exponential Growtharrow_forward
- How does the logistic growth model of population growth differ from the exponential growth model? A. The graph of the exponential model is S-shaped. B. The logistic growth model shows an unrestricted growth rate. C. The logistic growth model considers the environment's carrying capacity. D. The exponential growth model shows a restricted growth rate.arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements about logistic growth is not correct? A population growing logistically has reached the carrying capacity of the environment in which it lives. A logistically growing population is represented by an S-shaped curve. When a population is growing logistically, it is limited by factors such as food supply and water. In a logistically growing population, the birth rate is much greater than the death rate.arrow_forwardWhen an environment has reached its carying capacity for a certain population, which of the following is true? A. Growth and immigration rate is equal to death and emigration rate. B. Growth and immigration rate is greater than death and emigration rate. C. Growth and immigration rate is less than death and emigration rate. D. Growth rate is exponential. Answer Why do you believe this is the correct answer.arrow_forward
