  • Question 1
   
 

In the population growth model, the initial size of a population ______ affect the carrying capacity of the environment.

     
       
  • Question 2
   
 

In the population growth model, dN/dt is a measure of --------------------.

     
       
  • Question 3
   
 

In the population growth model, when the size of a population (N) exceeds the carrying capacity (K), population growth is ________.

     
       
  • Question 4

Consider Predator-Prey Model 1, in the plots of population versus time, what do the peaks in the prey population graph signify?

 
  • Question 5

In Predator-Prey Model 1, why are the predator and prey growth curves out of phase?

 

 

Question 6

In Predator-Prey Model 1, as the predator population continues to increases, the prey population will eventually begin to ____.

 
  • Question 7

 

When the prey population is above the predator isocline, the predator population is:

 
  • Question 8

When the prey population is below the predator isocline, the predator population is:

 
  • Question 9
   
 

Given that the Predator-Prey Model 2 combines aspects of the Population Growth model and the Predator-Prey 1 model, can you determine what is causing the fluctuations? Can you figure out what causes the populations to eventually stabilize at zero population growth?

     
       
  • Question 10
   
 

In Predator-Prey Model 2, what is the ultimate response of both populations to the sudden loss of either prey or predators?
