What growth model has an J-shaped curve?
Logistic
Exponential
Answer explanation
The exponential growth model is characterized by a J-shaped curve, indicating rapid growth as resources are unlimited. In contrast, the logistic model shows an S-shaped curve, reflecting growth that levels off as resources become limited.

What growth model has an S-shaped curve?
Logistic
Exponential
Answer explanation
The logistic growth model is characterized by an S-shaped curve, representing how populations grow rapidly at first, then slow as they approach carrying capacity. In contrast, exponential growth does not exhibit this S-shape.

When a population has unlimited resources, and it continues to grow to its FULL LIVING POTENTIAL, it is called
Peak
Top shelf
Resource controlled limit
Biotic potential
Answer explanation
When a population has unlimited resources and grows to its full living potential, it is referred to as 'biotic potential.' This term describes the maximum reproductive capacity of an organism under ideal conditions.

factors that affect a population depending on its size
- these include food, predation, parasitism, and disease
Density-Dependent factor
Density-Independent factors
Answer explanation
Density-dependent factors, like food availability, predation, parasitism, and disease, directly affect a population's size. As population density increases, these factors become more significant, influencing growth and survival.

affect all populations similarly regardless of population size. Examples include: natural disasters, rapid climate changes (drought or floods), and human activity and disturbances
Density-Dependent factors
Density-Independent factors
Answer explanation
Density-independent factors affect all populations equally, regardless of size. Natural disasters, climate changes, and human disturbances are examples that impact populations without considering their density.

MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION
45 sec • 1 pt
Which population has the greatest potential for rapid growth?
Populations with a large number of middle aged individuals
Older populations
Populations with large numbers of young offspring
None of these
Answer explanation
Populations with large numbers of young offspring have the greatest potential for rapid growth because they can reproduce quickly, leading to exponential increases in population size.

factorization
materialization of precipitation
Answer explanation
A limiting factor is any thing or organism that controls the size of a population of another organism. It includes resources like food, water, and space, which can restrict population growth.
