| Term | Definition |

| Limiting factors whose effects increase as the size of the population increases are (a. abiotic factors b. density- dependent factors c. exponential in nature d. density- independent factors) | b. density-dependent factors |
| The movement of individuals from a population is (a. immmigration b. a reproductive pattern c. a life history pattern d. emigration) | d. emigration |
| The proportions of a population that are at different age levels make up the populations (a. fertility rate b. growth rate c. age structure d. carrying capacity | c. age structure |
| Unrestricted populations of organisms experience (a. exponential growth b. linear growth c. infertility d. biotic growth) | a. exponential growth |
| For a particular species, the carrying capacity is the maximum number of individuals oraganisms that (a. the species could reach in given time period if all the offspring survive and reproduce b. can be supported by a given enviorment c. are in there post reproductive years d. can be supported if there are no limiting factors) | b. can be supported by a given enviorment |
| Density-independent factors are limiting factors whose effects are (a. confined to the habitat of a population b. determined by the degree of competeion of resources c. not influenced by population densities d. determined by the difference betweeen birht rate and death rate) | c. not influenced by population densities |
| A (J,S)- shaped curve describes the tendecy of a population to grow without limit to its size | J |
| If a populations death rate is (less,greater) than its birth rate the population will grow | less |
| (Food availabilty, Earthquake damage) would be a density dependent limiting factor on a growth of a population | food availabilty |
| The number of offspring produce by a female during her reproductive years defines the (fertility, birth) rate | fertility |
| The production of many offspring in a short period of time is characteristic of a (slow, rapid) life history patterns | rapid |
| instead of growing explosively population growth tends to level off because the population reaches the (competitive limit, carrying capacity) of a particular enviorment. | carrying capacity |
| (Immigration, emigration) can greatly increase the size of the population and creates stresses within the population. | immigration |
