Biology –9 th Grade. CHAPTER 5 NOTES. CHARACTERISTICS OF A POPULATION. DENSITY GROWTH RATE GEOGRAPHIC DISTRIBUTION. 3 FACTORS THAT AFFECT POPULATION. # OF BIRTHS # OF DEATHS # OF IND. THAT ENTER AND LEAVE A POPULATION. 2 TYPES OF POPULATION GROWTH. EXPONENTIAL GROWTH.
E N D
CHARACTERISTICS OF A POPULATION • DENSITY • GROWTH RATE • GEOGRAPHIC DISTRIBUTION
3 FACTORS THAT AFFECT POPULATION • # OF BIRTHS • # OF DEATHS • # OF IND. THAT ENTER AND LEAVE A POPULATION
EXPONENTIAL GROWTH POPULATION GROWS EXTREMELY RAPID AND AT A CONSTANT RATE
LOGISTICGROWTH DOES HAVE A PERIOD OF EXP. GROWTH, BUT WILL STOP OR SLOW DOWN. GOES THROUGH A # OF PHASES. *Carrying capacity – total # of individuals a pop. can support
LIMITING FACTOR FACTOR THAT CAUSES THE POPULATION TO DECREASE
Density-Dependent Limiting Factors • Factors that depend on the size of a population • Examples – Competition, predation, disease, parasitism
Density-Independent Limiting Factors • Affect all pop. regardless of pop. size. Examples – Natural disasters, Weather, and human activities
QUIZ – CH. 5 • List 3 factors that affect population growth. • What are 3 characteristics of a population? • What type of growth goes through a period of rapid growth, and slows down or stops?
4. What is the term for the largest # of individuals a population can hold? 5. What type of growth grows at a constant rate? 6. List some density-dependent limiting factors. 7. List some density-independent limiting factors.
