Important Vocabulary (Define each)
Population:
Using the axes below, draw and label a line that represents
linear growth, draw and label a line that represents
exponential growth, draw and label a line that represents
logistic growth, label the carrying capacity of a population.
Carrying capacity:
Ecological Footprint:
Total fertility rate:
Replacement rate:
Pro/anti natalist forces:
Demographic Transition:
Use the axes below to draw and label the 3 types of
survivorship curves (Type I – Late loss, Type II – constant loss,
Type 3 – early loss).
Affluence:
Per capita:
Limiting factors:
Population pyramid:
Distribution, Factors & Interactions
Clumped distribution =
Even/uniform distribution =
Random distribution =
Which type of population sampling technique would be
best for evenly spaced individuals? Clumped or random?
Which is characteristic of r-strategists? K-strategists? List
other characteristics of these r and K selected species.
One a separate piece of paper draw and label lines
representing the birth rate, death rate, and total population
size during the idealized demographic transition of a country.
Include an explanation for each change in the birth rate, death
rate and total population size.
Draw and label four age-structure diagrams that
represent slow growth, rapid growth, negative growth &
zero population growth.
Two types of factors affect population size/growth:
Density-dependent factors
Density-independent factors
Types of species interactions (define & give examples)
Commensalism
Mutualism
Predation
Parasitism
Competition
For each type of age-structure diagram, list an example
of a country that exhibits this type of population growth.

Use the following situation for questions 1-4: Mathpracticetopia is an island of 5000 square miles off the coast of
Yourewelcome. There are currently 250,000 inhabitants of the island. Last year, there were 12,000 new children born
and 10,000 people died.
1. What is the current population density?
2. What are the crude birth and death rates?
3. 38,000 people immigrated and 15,000 people emigrated. What is the growth rate?
4. How long until the population doubles? What will be the new population density?
5. A country’s population was 12 million in 1992 and in 2012 it is 24 million. If the population grew at a constant
rate, that percent rate of growth was?
6. In a particular year a population has the following characteristics: the crude birth rate is 45, the crude death rate
is 20, the immigration rate is 1%, and the emigration rate is 0.5%. The percent rate of growth for that year is?
7. If the annual consumption of petroleum in the US is about 23 barrels per capita, what is the total annual
consumption of petroleum in the US?
