Which of the following are true for a population that is increasing according to the exponential growth equation? Choose all that are true.

Given: N1=8000 N=250 r=1 t=5 years Question: Do you think the population will grow at that rate? Explain your answer.

What is true of a population with a logistic growth pattern? Choose All That Apply It has growing at a constant rate It is at or close to its carrying capacity Its K-N/K value does not change It has an exponential growth phase

The logistic model incorporates carrying capacity to make the model exponential density-dependent random density-independent

Both density-dependent and density-independent factors can influence population growth. Distinguish between density-dependent and density-independent factors, and describe an example of each

Give the equation for verhulst-poarl logistic growth of population.

What are some limitations or potential problems with each of the following methods of estimating population size? Quadrat/random sampling: Mark and recapture:

What factors affect the distribution patterns of the population? (i.e., why are some populations uniformly distributed, while others clump together or randomly spaced?)

Brachionus calyciflorus is a species of zooplankton (small animal or animal-like aquatic organisms) that feeds on algae. In an experiment, scientists set up five containers with equally sized populations of B. calyciflorus and provided different quantities of food to each population for several days. The graph shows the average daily growth rate for each of the five populations. EFFECTS OF FOOD QUANTITY ON POPULATION GROWTH RATE 0.5- --0.5+ -1.0+ -1.5- 0.2 0.4 0.8 1.6 3.2 Food Quantity (mg) A student claims that the population that was provided 0.4 mg of food will be larger than the population provided 0.8 mg of food. Based on the data in the graph, drag the appropriate text into the boxes to indicate whether you support or refute the claim and to provide the evidence that supports your answer. Population Growth Rate (percent per day)

Describe the three main types of dispersion patterns that can be observed in populations. Discuss at least one factor that might lead to each pattern.
