Which country looks like it is experiencing exponential growth?
Which country looks like it has reached its carrying capacity?
Because it has reached its carrying capacity, describe the relationship between its birth rates and death rates.
Describe what is happening to Europe’s population size in terms of birth rates and death.

Select one or more:
Ua. r becomes greater as the population grows because there are more births per year.
b. There are more births per generation as you move right on the graph
c. exponential growth is most often observed in stable populations that have resided in
an environment for a long time.
Od. The slope of the curve changes continuously as you move to the right even though r
remains the same.
A few plant-eating salamanders manage to float on a log to a large island in the Pacific that did not have any other salamander species previously. The salamanders find the island has abundant plants for food and no predators. On average, a salamander has four offspring per year and lives for one year.
Refer to the equation for the logistic growth model
if you were modeling salamnder population growth with this logistic growth equation, during the first few years,
a) N<K
b) N=K
c) N>K
d) there is no relationship between N and K
