Chapter 27, Problem 5FIB
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The changes in a population number could be due to birth rate, death rate, immigration, and emigration. Birth and immigration lead to add individuals to a population and death and emigration leads to decrease individuals from a population. A wide gap between the birth and death rate could lead to faster growth in the rate of population.

Which of the following variables of ecology can be calculated from the given information? growth rate of the population per capita growth rate of the population density of the population biotic potential of the populationarrow_forwardChoose from the drop down menu which terms belong with which correct definition. Mortality, natality, immigration, emigration. Per capita growth rate Growth rate Population density Change in population size over a specific time period Answer Growth rate of a population with regards to the initial size of the population Answer The factors that change the number of individuals in a given population Answer The number of a species per square kilometre occupying a specific area Answerarrow_forwardA population is expected to grow exponentially when the population size is close but below the carrying capacity of the environment. when the population size is exceeding the carrying capacity of the environment. when the birth rate changes as a function of the population after a severe population bottleneck.arrow_forward
- There are particular factors that quantitatively influence population growth. Choose the correct factor that is being described (mortality, natuality, immagration, emigration) 1. The number of individuals that leave the population; can be due to aniotic factors (e.g., escape from fire, drought, flood, or climate change) or biotic factors (e.g., increased competition). __________________ 2. Number of births; tend to increase with food supply and decrease with competition _____________________ 3. Death; maybe due to kill-off (predation) or die-off (disease, starvation, or exposure) ___________________ 4. The number of individuals entering the population from outside; can be due to abiotic factors (e.g., escape from fire, drought, flood, or climate change) or biotic factors (e.g., increased competition) __________________arrow_forwardWhat is the relationship between population density and available resources? exponentially proportional There is no relationship. directly proportional inversely proportionalarrow_forwardA population of rabbits, when introduced to a new environment with abundant resources, would most likely display what type of growth?

(Enter 1 for True and 2 for False). Question 1 options: 12 Population growth is the change in the number of species during some period of time. 12 The carrying capacity for any given area is fixed. 12 Carrying capacity refers to the number of individuals who can be supported in a given area within natural resource limits, and without degrading the natural social, cultural and economic environment for present and future generations. 12 Ecosystem processes include energy cycling and interaction among species for nutrients. 12 Obligate mutualists must live with a partner species.arrow_forward
