Lab Skills
16The biological response or what the experimenter
measures

19What should you do with your hypothesis after
your experiment?

20Accept- data collected in the experiment
supports it.Reject- data collected does not
support it.

Population Structure
Define Population Density.
3410
Population Structure
The number of individuals of a species per unit
area or volume
3520
Population Structure
How do scientists determine population density
and why?
3620
Population Structure
Counting or Sampling Techniques- its often
impossible and impractical to count all organism
in an area.
3730
Population Structure
Why would an organisms in a population take on
clumped dispersion?
3830
Population Structure
Herding patterns social behavior uneven
distribution of resources mating
3940
Population Structure
What are survivorship curves?
4040
Population Structure
Graphs (curves) generated from life tables.
Looks at average life span of organisms to make
determinations about population growth.

the desert take and why?

Population Growth
What are the factors that limit population growth?
4710
Population Growth
Density-dependent (competition, health,
predation, physiological factors) Density-independ
ent (acidity, salinity, fires, catastrophes,
weather conditions) Boom and Bust cycles
(pred/prey relationships, food supply)

What kind of growth model is represented below,
and how is it possible?
