Calculating Population

Population growth is determined by calculating the number of individuals who...

• are born

• die

• move in or out of an area

• all of the above

What is the number of people born per 1,000 individuals for a certain period of time?

• Death Rate

• Birth Rate

• Population

• People Growing

A rate of change that increases more and more rapidly over time.

• Population

• Birth Rate

• Exponential Growth

• Death Rate

What point on the graph represents the carrying capacity?

• A

• B

• C

• D

When a population grows past the ecosystem's carrying capacity, what happens to the population?

• Continues to grow

• The population starts to die off to return to carrying capcity

• The population will go extinct due to lack of resources

• The population grows then finds a new carrying capacity

What does the graph represent?

• Emigration

• Exponential growth

• Immigration

• Logistic Growth

To measure population density, you must divide the number of individuals living in a defined space by the

• area of the space

• birth and death rates

• carrying capacity

• height of the space

If the number of births is greater than the number of deaths in a population, what will happen to the growth of the population?

• It will increase.

• It will decrease.

• It will stay the same.

• It will fluctuate.
