2
5-1 How Populations Grow Geographic distribution – the area a pop lives(range)
3
Population Density – the number of individuals in an area
4
Population Growth ● Number of births ● Number of deaths ● Emigration (out) & Immigration (in)
5
In Springfield, 45 babies are born in the year 2008. 15 people died that same year. What is the growth rate for the city? Positive Growth rate = increase Negative Growth rate = decrease
6
Exponential Growth –reproduction at a constant rate. - occurs under ideal conditions (no limits) - J-shape curve
7
Logistic Growth – resources become less available, growth slows or stops - S-shaped curve Carrying Capacity – the number an environment can support
8
You are having a party. How can you figure out the carrying capacity of your party. Factors:
9
5-2 Limits to Growth Limiting Factor – causes population growth to decrease Density- Dependent Factors – population size --competition --predation --disease
10
Density-Independent Factors – does not depend on population size -Unusual weather -Natural disasters -Some human activities
11
Predator - Prey Relationship - predators control populations - as the prey numbers increase, so do predators Prey will always outnumber predators!
12
Quick check. 1. The area where a population live is called: a) population density b) geographic distribution c) carrying capacity 2. The graph shows why type of curve? a) exponential b) logistic 3. The arrow indicates the: a) limiting factor b) density dependent c) carrying capacity 4. What is the number of deer that can be supported by the island? a) 90-96b) 75-80c) 10 -30
13
5. What information is needed to determine the population growth rate? a) birth rateb) death rate c) number of immigrants d) all of these 6. A flood causes a 30% reduction in the population of crocodiles. This is considered a: a) density independent factor b) density dependent factor c) logistic growth factor 7) If an area is a negative rate of population growth, then the population is: a) increasing b) decliningc) extinct 8) Population density refers to: a) the number of individuals in an area b) the total number of individuals in a species

DEMOGRAPHY
15
- the study of human population growth - explains how populations change over time. Detroit
16
Demographic Transition – a dramatic change in birth and death rates -U.S., Japan, and Europe population growth has stopped ZERO POPULATION GROWTH
17
In order to achieve ZPG, each couple has only 2 children.

AGE STRUCTURE DIAGRAMS Show percentage of people alive at each age group

Which diagram above is: 1. A country where the king orders the deaths of all the baby boys 2. A country at war, many young men die in that war 3. A country with poor health care for women, many die in childbirth 4. A country where AIDS kills people in their 30s A B C D
