1. Work on EOC Review (due 6/1) Biology EOC 6/7
What organelles are involved in the process of protein synthesis? How does this differ between prokaryotes and eukaryotes?

2. Human Population Growth
1. Will we run out of space?
2. How is studying human population growth important?
3. What outside factors should we consider when studying human population growth?

3. Population Growth 1. Explain the trends you see in the graph.
2. Would you expect the bacteria population to continue growing exponentially forever? Why or why not?

4. Population Growth Exponential Growth- Rapid growth of the population
This type of growth occurs in bacteria for short amounts of time
Not sustainable- eventually the organisms will run out of space, resources, food, mates, etc.
Logistic Growth- Rapid growth of the population that levels off after the population reaches a certain size
This type of growth is seen in all organisms over time
As the organism run out of resources, their population stops growing as rapidly.

5. Exponential vs. Logistic Growth

6. Carrying Capacity
Carrying capacity is the maximum number of organisms that can be supported in an environment
Carrying capacity exists for all organisms BECAUSE there is a finite amount of resources
Eventually food, water, space, mates, habitat will run out and the population will stop growing as rapidly

7. Factors Affecting Carrying Capacity
1. Density-dependent factors- factors that have a greater affect, the larger the population gets (i.e. depends on the density)
Examples: Food, water, space, disease
2. Density-independent factors- factors that have the same affect no matter the size of the population (i.e. aren’t cause by density)
Example: fire, tornados, flooding, earthquake

8. Carrying Capacity Practice

9. Role of Disease in Population Growth
