Population Growth 4.4

?
Phases of a population
Lag, Log/Exponential, Stationary, (bacteria/fungi) Death phase
1 of 10
Log/Exponential Phase
Numbers double per unit of time - No limiting factors, more orgamisms available for reproduction. Bacteria divide at a constant rate. This can't be mainained indefinately.
2 of 10
Stationary Phase
Birth/Production rate = death rate - Certain factors limit growth - Carrying capacity reached (The maximum number of an organism an enviroment can sustain for a period of time)
3 of 10
Death Phase
Death rate > Birth/Production rate - Limiting factor have become lethal
4 of 10
Possible limiting factors
Biotic - Living Abiotic - non living
5 of 10
Examples of limiting factors
Weather, Temperature, pH, Light. Predation, Toxic waste build up, Lack of food/nutrients
6 of 10
Type of curve in an animal species
S-shaped
7 of 10
Types of factors (4)
Biotic, Abiotic, Density dependent, Density independent
8 of 10
Density dependent/independent
Dependent - Effect increses as population increases Independent - Effect doesnt change with population density
9 of 10
What is population oscillation regulated by
Negative feedback
