Lesson Overview 5.1 How Populations Grow

Describing Populations Researchers study populations’ geographic range, density and distribution, growth rate, and age structure. Geographic Range The area inhabited by a population is called its geographic range. A population’s range can vary enormously in size, depending on the species.

Density and Distribution Distribution refers to how individuals in a population are spaced out across the range of the population— randomly, uniformly, or mostly concentrated in clumps.

Growth Rate A population’s growth rate determines whether the population size increases, decreases, or stays the same.

Birthrate and Death Rate A population can grow when its birthrate is higher than its death rate. If the birthrate equals the death rate, the population may stay the same size. If the death rate is greater than the birthrate, the population is likely to shrink.

Immigration and Emigration A population may grow if individuals move into its range from elsewhere, a process called immigration. A population may decrease in size if individuals move out of the population’s range, a process called emigration.

Exponential Growth In exponential growth, the larger a population gets, the faster it grows. The size of each generation of offspring will be larger than the generation before it.

Organisms That Reproduce Rapidly In a hypothetical experiment, a single bacterium divides to produce two cells every 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, under ideal conditions, the bacterium divides to produce two bacteria. After another 20 minutes, those two bacteria divide to produce four cells. After three 20-minute periods, we have 2×2×2, or 8 cells. Another way to describe the size of the bacteria population is to use an exponent: 23 cells (three 20- minute periods). In one day, this bacterial population will grow to 4,720,000,000,000,000,000,000 individuals.

Logistic Growth What is logistic growth? Logistic growth occurs when a population’s growth slows and then stops, following a period of exponential growth.

Lesson Overview 5.2 Limits to Growth

Limiting Factors A limiting factor is a factor that controls the growth of a population. There are several kinds of limiting factors. Some—such as competition, predation, parasitism, and disease—depend on population density. Others—including natural disasters and unusual weather— do not depend on population density.

Parasitism and Disease Density Dependent vs. Density Independent Predator-Prey Relationships Humans as Predators Parasitism and Disease Stress From Overcrowding True Density Independence? Controlling Introduced Species

Population Density is: The total population of a certain species The total number of all species in a certain area The growth rate of a population of a single species The number of a single species per unit area of 29 Response Grid Countdown 45

Emigration is: Movement into an area Movement out of an area Movement within an area The death rate in an area of 29 Response Grid Countdown 45

The graph below shows Exponential growth Logistic Growth No Growth 45 of 29 Response Grid Countdown 45
