What is a population?

Back

A group of one species in one area.

Front

As a population grows, it will most likely stop growing at the...
Options: growth limit, exponential limit, carrying capacity, logical limit

Back

carrying capacity

Front

A species' carrying capacity (K) of an environment is determined by

Back

supply of the most limited resources

Front

What type of growth is represented in the graph?

Back

exponential

Front

In logistic growth curves, why does the population number increase so quickly before reaching carrying capacity?

Back

resources have not become limited yet

Front

What is the carrying capacity for this population?

Back

about 800 organisms
