1.1. Exponential Growth ModelExponential Growth Model
Exponential growth:Exponential growth: The rate of expansion (growth) of a population under ideal conditions.

logistic growth:logistic growth: Environmental factors restrict the growth of a population
(The factors are called: limiting factors.limiting factors.)

Draw an s-curve and draw a j-curve
• Label each with the lag phase the growth phase, the stationary phase

Factors That Limit Factors That Limit Population GrowthPopulation Growth
1. Density-Dependent Factors:1. Density-Dependent Factors:
a. Population-limiting factorsPopulation-limiting factors whose effects depend on population densitypopulation density.
b. The greater the pop, the greater the effects.
Examples: Examples: 1. Limited food supply
2. Disease
3. Predation
4. Nesting sites
