| What are three ways that a population can disperse over a geographic area? | The three types would be clumped, uniform, and random. |
| What type of intraspecies interaction might cause uniform dispersion? | competition for limited resources may cause uniform dispersion. |
| What are four factors that affect the size of a population? | Immigration, Births, Emigrations, and Deaths |
| How do these four factors change when a population’s size is declining? | The immigration and births rate will go down, while he emigration and death rate will go up |
| When resources are abundant, what type of growth do populations usually exhibit? | Exponential Growth occurs when the resources are abundant |
| When resources are limited, what type of growth do populations usually exhibit? | Logistic Growth occurs |
| Contrast birth and death rates (or immigration and emigration rates) in populations exhibiting exponential growth versus birth with death rates (or immigration and emigration rates) in populations exhibiting logistic growth. | In Exponential growth occurs the birth/immigration rates will go up while the death and emigration rates will only go up in Logistic growth |
| What is a population’s carrying capacity? Which growth curve shows a population that has hit its carrying capacity? |
