3. Population I Name one way a population can grow. More births than deaths; immigration

4. Population I: 200 Provide two examples of a limiting factor Predation, disease, natural disaster, deforestation, etc.

5. Population I: 300 Which of the following letters would most likely represent exponential growth? J or S “J”

6. Population I: 400 What is meant by carrying capacity? The maximum number of individuals that an environment can support

7. Population I: 500 Explain exponential growth. Exponential growth refers to growth of a population at a constant rate; only under ideal conditions

8. Population II: 100 Name and spell the term used to describe the movement of individuals into an area. Immigration

9. Population II: 200 The number of organisms per unit area is referred to as the ___________ ____________. Population Density

10. Population II: 300 Can a population have a negative growth rate? Why or why not? yes…a population can have more deaths than births

11. Population II: 400 List and describe two of the three three types of geographic distribution 1.Random- no order 2.Clumped- grouped 3.Uniform- orderly; a pattern; evenly dispersed

12. Population II: 500 Is disease density-dependent or independent? Why? Density-dependent; disease will only become limiting when the population is large and dense

13. Succession: 100 Would you expect primary or secondary succession to begin following the event in the above image? Primary

14. Succession: 200 Secondary succession differs from primary succession in that ______ is still present following a disturbance. SOIL

15. Succession: 300 The end product of ecological succession in which a stable group of plants and animals are present is called the ________ _______________. Climax Community

16. Succession: 400 Name an event that may mark the beginning of the process of secondary succession. Natural Disaster; deforestation

17. Succession: 500 What is a pioneer species? A pioneer species is the first species to move into or populate an area. For example: lichen or algae Pioneer species are responsible for beginning the process of soil creation.

18. Ecological Relationships: 100 A lion capturing and feeding on a gazelle is an example of this type of ecological relationship. Predator/Prey

19. Ecol. Relationships: 200 _______________ is used to describe the relationship between two organisms fighting over the same resources (e.g. food or shelter) Competition

20. Eco. Relationships: 300 This photo of a tick attached to and surviving off of the blood of a dog is an example of this type of ecological relationship. Parasitism

21. Ecol. Relationships: 400 Category 4 – 40 Points This is the type of relationship in which both organisms benefit from one another. Mutualism

22. Ecological Relationships: 500 The type of relationship in which one organism is benefitted while the other organism is neither helped nor harmed. Commensalism

23. Miscellaneous: 100 Do limiting factors cause an increase or decrease in population size? Decrease

24. Miscellaneous: 200 Does the following population curve show exponential or logistic growth? Logistic

25. Miscellaneous: 300 Name two events that would expose bare rock marking the beginning of primary succession. Volcanic eruption; Glacial melting

26. Miscellaneous: 400 Describe what is meant by a density-independent limiting factor. Provide an example. These factors are limiting to the population regardless of its size; weather cycles, natural disasters, human interference

27. Miscellaneous: 500 Provide an example of a symbiotic relationship. Describe the role of each organism in the relationship and tell whether it is an example of mutualism, commensalism, or parasitism. Mutualism: Both organisms benefit Commensalism: One benefits, one unaffected Parasitism: One helped, one harmed
