1. What is “r” stand for? R stands for growth rate.
2. What happens if we have a positive “r”? Get exponential growth and later hit logistic growth.
3. What is “N”? "N" is the number of individuals in a population.
4. What is “K”? "K" is the carrying capacity.
5. Explain the survivor-ship curve.
TYPE I: High survival likelihood early on (Humans)
TYPE II: Dying off a at a linear(robins)
TYPE III:Most die off very early on (frogs)
6)How does the environment affect the survivor-ship curve? The environment affects the survivor-ship curve because some environments are stable compared to others.
7) What are “r” selected species? "r" selected species are species that base their life on growth rate.
Some examples are:
-Unstable environment
-Lots of offspring's
-Small body size
-Short generation time
8) What are “K” selected species? "K" selected species are species that live for a long time.
Some examples are:
-A stable environment
-Large body size
-High parental care
-Less offspring's.
