5. 3 FACTORS THAT AFFECT POPULATION # OF BIRTHS # OF DEATHS # OF IND. THAT ENTER AND LEAVE A POPULATION

6. 2 TYPES OF POPULATION GROWTH

7. EXPONENTIAL GROWTH POPULATION GROWS EXTREMELY RAPID AND AT A CONSTANT RATE

8. LOGISTIC GROWTH DOES HAVE A PERIOD OF EXP. GROWTH, BUT WILL STOP OR SLOW DOWN. GOES THROUGH A # OF PHASES. *Carrying capacity – total # of individuals a pop. can support

9. LIMITING FACTOR FACTOR THAT CAUSES THE POPULATION TO DECREASE

10. Density-Dependent Limiting Factors Factors that depend on the size of a population Examples – Competition, predation, disease, parasitism

11. Density-Independent Limiting Factors Affect all pop. regardless of pop. size. Examples – Natural disasters, Weather, and human activities
