Direction: 1. Read each situation in the table below, then state if it is a density independent limiting factor or a density-dependent limiting factor. Indicate the specific limiting factor that is occurring (l.e, emigration, predatior., and diseases and parasites). Density independent or density dependent? Limiting factor Situation 1. Mrs. Rosales has 55 students in her biology class, but she has room for 50. Because the room was crowded, the 5 students were asked to go to the curriculum chairperson to change their schedule. 2. Dinoflagellates in Laguna de Bay increase in population due to increase in organic substance in the body of water brought by water pollution. 3. The oil spill in Cavite area harm.ed many aquatic organisms in the vicinity.

Read each situation in the chart below. Then, state if it is a density-independent limiting factor or a density-dependent limiting factor. Then, state the specific limiting factor that is occurring. The first one is done for you as an example. SITUATION Dependent - Independent or Density-Dependent Limiting Factor Mrs. Engelbrecht has 32 students assigned to her Biology Class, but she only has room for 28. Because the room is crowded, the extra 4 students leave room to go to Guidance and have their schedules changed. Density- Dependent Emigration Northern pike (it’s a fish) feed on another fish, the yellow perch. An increase in the yellow perch population causes an increase in the northern pike population. Density- Dependent The BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico has harmed many aquatic organisms that live in the Gulf region. Density- Independent A new strain of influenza (the flu) breaks out in New York City Density- Dependent A…

Match each term with its most suitable description. _____ carrying capacity a. maximum rate or increase per individual under ideal conditions _____ exponential growth b. population growth plots out as an S-shaped curve _____ biotic potential c. maximum number or individuals sustainable by the resources in a given environment _____ limiting factor d. population growth plots out as a J-shaped curve _____ logistic growth e. essential resource that restricts population growth when scarce
Figure 45.2 As this graph shows, population density typically decreases with increasing body size. Why do you think this is the case?
The per capita growth rate of a population where dispersal is not a factor is expressed as (a) i + e (b) b d (c) dN/dt (d) rN(K N) (e) (K N) K

Asian carp are an invasive species of fish. When the Asian carp invade a river or lake, they overtake the food and space from the native fish. What type of density-dependent factor would this be considered? physiological change predation competition disease and parasites
Define density-dependent and also define density-independent mortality factors, and give one different specific example (from Nature) of each mortality factor.
Using the logistic equation, calculate population growth when K =1,000, N = 100, and r = 0.1. Compare the result with that shown inSection 56.3, where K = 1,000, N = 900, and r = 0.1, and with theresult when K = 1,000, N = 500, and r = 0.1.
