| B) Density dependent factors | Limiting factors whose effects increase as the size of the population increases are; |
| D) Emigration | The movementof individuals from a population is; |
| C) Age structure | The proportion of a population that are at different age levels make up the population's; |
| A) Exponential Growth | Unrestrictedpopulations of organisms experience; |
| B)Can be supported by a given environment. | For a particular species, the carrying capacity is the maximum number of individual organisms that; |
| C) Not influenced by population densities. | Density-independent factors are limiting factors whose effects are; |
| J | A (J,S)- shaped curve describes the tendency of a population to grow without limit to its size. |
| Less | If a population's death rate is (less,greater) than its birthrate, the popualtion will grow. |
| Food availability | (Food availability, Earthquake damage) would be a density-dependent limiting factor on the growth of a population. |
| Fertility | The number of offspring produced by a female during her reproductive years defines the (fertility, birth) rate. |
| Rapid | The production of many offspring in a short period of time is characteristic of a (slow,rapid) life-history pattern. |
| Carrying Capacity | Instead of growing explosively, population growth tends to level off because the population reaches the (competitive limit, carrying capacity) of a particular environment. |
| Immigration | (Immigration, emigration) can greatly increase the size of the population and create stresses within the population. |
| The student would keep the dish closed to prevent the culture from being contaminated by yeast cells or other microorganisms in the medium or the air. | A student grew a yeast culture on sterilized nutrient medium in a closed dish for 5 days, why would the student use sterilized medium and keep the dish closed? |
