Terms in this set (72)
Draw, label, and annotate with explanations, a Lag phase - Slow growth - small number of individuals initially present. Birth
generalised growth curve for natural populations. rate > Death rate
Log phase - Rapid growth - number of breeding individuals increases, total
population multiplies exponentially. No constraints act to limit population
explosion. Birth rate >> Death rate
Stationary phase (Carrying capacity) - Stable state - Further population
growth prevented by external constraints. Population size fluctuates but
remains relatively stable. Birth rate = Death rate
Define the terms "abiotic factor", "biotic factor", Abiotic factor - non-living conditions in a habitat
"limiting factor" and "carrying capacity". Biotic factor - living components of an ecosystem
Limiting factor - factor which limits the rate of a process
Carrying capacity - the maximum population size that an environment can
support

Give 3 examples of limiting factors for population Biotic: Predation, Food supply, Grazing, Parasitism, Disease, Intraspecific
size and explain how each affects population size. and Interspecific competition
Abiotic: Temperature, pH, Light intensity, Water availability, Oxygen
concentration, Humidity
Define the terms "density dependent factors" and Density dependent factors - factors whose strength depends on the
"density independent factors" and give 3 examples of population size. Competition, Predation, Grazing, Disease
each. Density independent factors - factors that will affect the same percentage
of the population regardless of its size. Natural disasters, Temperature

Define the terms "migration", "immigration" and Migration - the movement of individuals from one place to another
"emigration" Immigration - the movement of individuals into a particular area
Emigration - the movement of individuals out of a particular area
Describe the terms "r-strategists" and "K-strategists", r-strategists:
and describe the differences between them Short lifespan, Many offspring, Early onset of maturity, Small body size,
Reproduce once during lifetime, No parental care, Unstable environment
K-strategists:
Long lifespan, Few offspring, Late onset of maturity, Large body size,
Reproduce more than once, Parental care is common, Stable environment
Define the terms "intraspecific competition" and Intraspecific competition - competition between organisms of the same
"interspecific competition" species
Interspecific competition - competition between organisms of different
species
Give 4 examples of what organisms might compete Space, food, light, water
for.
