Population density is the number of individuals that live in a defined area. 

5.1 How Populations Grow

Page 2: 5.1 How Populations Grow · PDF fileExponential Growth vs. Logistic Growth ... • Shown as a “J‐shaped” curve 5.1 How Populations Grow. Exponential Growth vs. Logistic Growth

KEY CONCEPT Populations grow in predictable patterns.

5.1 How Populations Grow

Page 3: 5.1 How Populations Grow · PDF fileExponential Growth vs. Logistic Growth ... • Shown as a “J‐shaped” curve 5.1 How Populations Grow. Exponential Growth vs. Logistic Growth

Four factors affect the size of a population. 

– immigration– births– emigration– deaths

5.1 How Populations Grow

Exponential Growth vs. Logistic Growth

• Exponential growth is a rapid population increase due to an abundance of resources.

• Shown as a “J‐shaped” curve

5.1 How Populations Grow

Exponential Growth vs. Logistic Growth

• Exponential growth is a rapid population increase due to an abundance of resources.

Lag Phase = initial period of slow growth

Exponential Growth Phase= period of rapid growth when

population repeatedly increasesin size; does not continue forever

• Logistic growth is due to a population facing limited resources. • Shown as a “S‐shaped” curve

• Carrying capacity is the maximum number of individuals in a population that the environment can support.

1) Lag Phase

2) Exponential Growth Phase

3) Reaching CarryingCapacity

4) Leveling Off

5.1 How Populations Grow

Page 9: 5.1 How Populations Grow · PDF fileExponential Growth vs. Logistic Growth ... • Shown as a “J‐shaped” curve 5.1 How Populations Grow. Exponential Growth vs. Logistic Growth

Ecological factors limit population growth. 

• A limiting factor is something that keeps the size of a population down. 1) Density-dependent limiting factors

- affected by the number of individuals in a given area- ex: predation, competition, parasitism and disease

5.2 Limits of Growth

Page 10: 5.1 How Populations Grow · PDF fileExponential Growth vs. Logistic Growth ... • Shown as a “J‐shaped” curve 5.1 How Populations Grow. Exponential Growth vs. Logistic Growth

2) Density‐independent limiting factors ‐ limit a population’s growth regardless of the density.– ex: unusual weather, natural disasters, human activities

5.2 Limits of Growth

KEY CONCEPT The impact of a growing human population threatens biodiversity.

biodiversity = the variety life forms on Earth

Importance of Biodiversity  

• Every organism has its own niche (ex: producers, decomposers)

• All organisms depend on each other (ex: symbiosis, food chain/food web)

• Provide a variety of resources:‐ food‐ clean water‐medicine‐ recycled nutrients

Loss of Biodiversity  Causes:1) Habitat loss2) Pollution3) Overharvesting4) Global climate change5) Introduced or Invasive new species 

(non‐native species)

Introduced species can disrupt stable relationships in an ecosystem.  

• An introduced species is one that is brought to an ecosystem by humans.– accidental– purposeful

• Invasive speciescan have anenvironmentaland economicimpact.

Introduced species can disrupt stable relationships in an ecosystem.  

• Non‐native species may introduce parasites, plants, and animal species that are not native to a particular area.

• Many non‐native species compete against native species for the resources (food, shelter) and disruptthe balance of the environment.

• Non‐native species flourish because they have few natural predators or parasites to slow down their population growth.

house plant in 1876Problem: classified as a problematic weed species
