• Linear growth

What is the term used to describe the maximum population size that an environment can sustain?

• Sustainability index

• Growth limit

• Carrying capacity

• Population threshold

What causes logistic growth to level off?

• Decreased death rates

• Increased birth rates

• Carrying capacity

• Unlimited resources

Which type of growth continues indefinitely without limits?

• Logistic growth

• Cyclic growth

• Exponential growth

• Linear growth

What is a real-world example of exponential growth mentioned in the video?

• Birds in a forest

• Fish in a pond

• Kudzu on the roadside

• Mice population in a field

What happens to a population when it reaches its carrying capacity?

• It becomes extinct

• It levels off and fluctuates around the capacity

• It decreases sharply

• It continues to grow rapidly

Which factor is NOT a limit to population growth?

• Food availability

• Disease

• Unlimited space

• Shelter

What is the main difference between exponential and logistic growth?

• Neither have limits

• Exponential growth has a limit, logistic does not

• Logistic growth has a limit, exponential does not

• Both have limits

What happens when a population overshoots its carrying capacity?

• It becomes extinct

• It continues to grow

• It stabilizes immediately

• Some organisms die off
