Demographic momentum is the population principle that states that; Populations cannot exceed their carrying capacity Youthful populations grow much faster than populations with many older people The resources of the earth are finite and so no population can grow forever We can increase production to account for the growing human population

Part A: A population of 100 Asian elephants exhibits logistic growth. If the carrying capacity is 500 elephants and theper capita growth rate is 0.1 individuals/(individuals × year), what is the maximum population growth rate forthe population? part b: Based on the above question, what is the maximum population growth rate for the population if we assumedthe elephants were undergoing exponential growth?
Which of the following are true for a population that is increasing according to the exponential growth equation? Choose all that are true. per capita birth rate is always greater than per capita death rate O r is constant O ris greatest when the population is greatest the population would continue to grow forever the population grows as if resources are never limiting growth doubling time is constant
do you think the global population of 7.1 billion is to too large? Explain. If your answer was yes, what do you think should be done to slow human population growth? if your answer was no, do you believe that there is a population sizethat would be too big? explain. do you think that the population of the country where you live is too large? explain.
Which growth model would you expect to see in a stable population? Select one: Exponential Speculative Factorial Logistic
A population of beetles is introduced into an environment where conditions are ideal allowing the beetle population to reach its biotic potential for many generations. This population of beetles shows O logistic growth O linear growth O per capita growth exponential growth
make a prediction about the effects that future human population growth will have on the following:Food productionAvailable water supplySpreading of diseaseNatural resourcesEnergy demandsGlobal warming
SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, AND SOCIETY Some people regardthe rapid population growth of less industrialized countries asour most serious environmental problem. Others think that thepopulation growth in industrialized countries, though smaller,is actually a greater environmental threat. What problems resultfrom population growth in (a) less industrialized countriesand (b) industrialized nations? Which do you think is a greaterthreat, and why?
If you graphed the population size over time of a population experiencing logistic growth, what would it look like? a curved line that then levels off at K O a straight line continuing higher and higher O a curved line that then levels off at r O a curved line continuing higher and higher
Please help me to get aswers thank you Define and give an example of each of the following. You may use examples from the Human Population Growth A) Density-dependent control on human population growth B) Density-independent control on human population growth
How would you change the exponential growth model if the per capita death rate increased? O I would decrease r. I would increase r. O I would decrease the initial population size. O I would not change anything about the exponential growth model.
Why has the human population continued to grow despiteenvironmental limitations? Give one example of an innovationthat increased the carrying capacity for humans.
A colony of aliens reaches planet Earth in 3000 BC and set up a base in Antarctica. If their initial population is 100 and their specific growth rate is 0.02263/year and their yieid coefficient is 0.85, then in what year (AD) will they start to outcompete humans for resources negiecting resource and logistic growth limiting effects? Assume the human population 3000 BC is 50 million, the human yield coefficient is 0.75 and the human specific growth rate is 0.02/year. Answer:
