6c. Know how fluctuations in population size in an ecosystem are determined by the relative rates of birth, immigration, emigration, and death.

Characteristics of Populations 5-1 How Populations Grow Characteristics of Populations What characteristics are used to describe a population? Characteristics of Populations Three important characteristics of a population are its: geographic distribution density growth rate Geographic distribution, or range, describes the area inhabited by a population. ____________ __________ is the number of individuals per unit area. Growth rate is the increase or decrease of the number of individuals in a population over time.

Population Growth What factors affect population size? Three factors can affect population size: the number of births the number of deaths the number of individuals that enter or leave the population A population can grow when its birthrate is greater than its death rate.

Population Growth ___________________, the movement of individuals into an area, is another factor that can cause a population to grow. Populations can increase by immigration as animals in search of mates or food arrive from outside. __________________, the movement of individuals out of an area, can cause a population to decrease in size. Emigration can occur when animals leave to find mates and establish new territories. A shortage of food in one area may also lead to emigration.

Exponential Growth What are exponential growth and logistic growth? Under ideal conditions with _______________ resources, a population will grow exponentially. Exponential growth occurs when the individuals in a population reproduce at a constant rate. The population becomes larger and larger until it approaches an infinitely large size.

Exponential Growth Exponential Growth In the presence of unlimited resources and in the absence of predation and disease, a population will grow exponentially. Both hypothetical graphs show the characteristic J-shape of exponential population growth.

Logistic Growth Logistic Growth In nature, exponential growth does not continue in a population for very long. As resources become __________ available, the growth of a population slows or stops. Logistic growth occurs when a population's growth slows or stops following a period of exponential growth.

Logistic Growth Logistic growth is characterized by an __-shaped curve. This graph shows the S-shaped curve of logistic growth. As resources become less available, the population growth rate slows or stops. The growth of this population has leveled off at its carrying capacity.

Logistic Growth Carrying Capacity The largest number of individuals of a population that a given environment can support is called its _______________ ________________. When a population reaches the carrying capacity of its environment, its growth levels off. The average growth rate is zero. This graph shows the S-shaped curve of logistic growth. As resources become less available, the population growth rate slows or stops. The growth of this population has leveled off at its carrying capacity.

5-3 Human Population Growth

Historical Overview 5-3 Human Population Growth How has the size of the human population changed over time? Historical Overview Like the populations of many other living organisms, the size of the human population tends to increase with time. For most of human existence, the population grew slowly. __________ ___________ kept population sizes low.

Historical Overview About ________ years ago, the human population began growing more rapidly. Life was made easier and safer by advances in agriculture and industry. Death rates were dramatically reduced due to improved sanitation, medicine, and healthcare, while birthrates remained high. With these advances, the human population experienced ___________ growth.

Patterns of Population Growth The scientific study of human populations is called _____________________. Demography examines the characteristics of human populations and attempts to explain how those populations will change over time.

Patterns of Population Growth Why do population growth rates differ in countries throughout the world? Birthrates, death rates, and the age structure of a population help predict why some countries have high growth rates while other countries grow more slowly. The Demographic Transition Over the past century, population growth in the United States, Japan, and much of Europe has slowed dramatically. According to demographers, these countries have completed the _______________ ____________, a dramatic change in birth and death rates.

Patterns of Population Growth The demographic transition has three stages. In stage 1, there are high death rates and high birthrates. In stage 2, the death rate drops, while the birthrate remains high. The population increases rapidly. In stage 3, the birthrate decreases, causing population growth to slow.

Patterns of Population Growth The demographic transition is ___________ when the birthrate falls to meet the death rate, and population growth stops. Birthrates, death rates, and the age structure of a population help predict the rate of population growth. Birthrates and death rates fall during the demographic transition. In Stage I, both the birthrate and death rate are high. During Stage II, the death rate drops while the birthrate remains high. Finally, in Stage III, the birthrate also decreases.

Patterns of Population Growth Age Structure Population growth depends, in part, on how many people of different ages make up a given population. Demographers can predict future growth using models called _____-___________ diagrams. Age-structure diagrams show the population of a country broken down by gender and age group.

Future Population Growth To predict human population growth, demographers must consider the age structure of each country, as well as the prevalence of _________ - ___________diseases. If growing countries move toward the demographic transition, growth rate may level off or decrease.

Future Population Growth Ecologists suggest that if growth does not slow down, there could be serious _____________ to the environment and global economy. Economists assert that ___________, __________and ___________ in society may control the negative impact of population growth.
