The number of individuals per unit area.

• distribution

• carrying capacity

• density

• none of the above

Describes how the organisms are spread out from one another.

• Denisty

• Volume

• Distribution

• Population pattern

What type of distribution pattern is evenly spaced apart from one another?

• Uniform

• Clumped

• Random

• Uneven

This is the most commonly seen distribution pattern. Example: wolves. This is usually because there are resources found in particular areas and the organisms need more space to survive.

What are the three types of distribution patterns?

• uniform, clumped, random

• uniform, uneven, random

• uneven, clumped, random

Takes place when individuals move into a population’s range.

• Immigration

• Emigration

When individuals leave a particular area.

• Emigration

• Immigration

When a population continues to grow at a fast rate.

• Exponential Growth

• Logistic Growth

• Carrying Capacity

• Infinity Growth
