1: What is N?
Population size.
2: What is r? What is the equation for r?
Growth Rate. R= Birth-Death/N
3: What did Darwin realize about elephants and their reproductive rate?
Elephants breed very slowly.
4: What is K?
Carrying Capacity.
5: What is the equation for exponential growth (j shaped curve)?
dN/dt=rN
6: For logistic growth, what changes from exponential growth?
(K-N/K) is added.
7: What happens if r is bigger than 0?
It shows exponential growth.
8: What is an r selected species? Give an example.
Species that loves to grow has quickly as it can. A frog is an example.
9: What is a K selected species? Give an example.
Species that grow slowly and take care of the offspring An example is a chameleon.
10: What kind of selected species are humans?
Humans are K selected species.
