23. What is population density?
The size of a population that occupies a specific area.
24. According to the diagram, which of the organisms compete for the same food
source? Animals that compete for the plant are: deer and mouse
Animals that compete for the mouse are: owl, hawk, snake, and fox
Animals that compete for the snake are: owl and hawk
25. According to the diagram, what organism would be represented by the “?” (A
carnivore, a decomposer, an herbivore, or an omnivore)? Herbivore

Years
26. According to the graph, when the hare population increases the lynx population
__increases____.
27. According to the graph, the hare population peaks 4 times on the graph. About
how many years pass between peaks? 10 years

28. According to the graph, why do you think the lynx population decreases in
1862? Hare population decreases probably from lack of food.
29. Draw a diagram showing the energy flow through an ecosystem. Include the
following: decomposer, sunlight, primary consumer, producer, and secondary
consumer.
SUN
PRODUCER PRIMARY CONSUMER
SECONDARY CONSUMER
DECOMPOSER
30. What are 2 methods for estimating populations? 1.Trap, mark, and release 2.
Random Sampling
31. Use the random sampling technique to calculate a population of daffodils using
the grid below.

32. Twenty five deer were captured and tagged. Later, 100 deer were captured in
which 15 of these had tags. Calculate the entire population.
number captured x number tagged
number recaptured with tag
100x25 = 2500 = 166.6=167

33. There are 3 basic interactions between populations in an ecosystem. What are
they? 1. Predator/Prey (Predation) 2. Symbiosis 3. Competition
34. There are 3 types of symbiotic relationships. List, define and give an example
of each type, and use the symbols that go with each type.
Mutualism – Both organisms benefit
Commensalism – One organism benefits, the other is not harmed
Parasitism – One organism benefits, the other is harmed
35. Circle the factors that make up an organism’s niche. A. How it finds a mate, B. How it
avoids danger, C. How it obtains shelter, D. How it digests its food E. How it cares for its young
36. What are 3 limiting factors? Food, shelter, water, mates, space
3
37. For what do organisms compete in an ecosystem? (List 4)
Food, shelter, water, space, mates, territory
38. Name and describe the type of growth that is displayed on the graph below.
This type of graph is representing exponential growth. It shows that the growth rate rises
sharply at hour 9
39. Name and describe the population growth in the graph below.
This graph represents exponential growth and carrying capacity. The graph is an
s curve showing the exponential growth rate at June and the carrying capacity is
steady at 65 rabbits
