![Page 10: Populations, Succession, and Biodiversity](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062409/56814547550346895db214cd/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Population II: 300
Explain how a population would achieve a negative
growth rate
More deaths than births
![Page 11: Populations, Succession, and Biodiversity](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062409/56814547550346895db214cd/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Population II: 400
List and describe the three types of geographic
distribution
1.Random- no order2.Clumped- grouped3.Uniform- orderly; a
pattern; evenly dispersed
![Page 12: Populations, Succession, and Biodiversity](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062409/56814547550346895db214cd/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Population II: 500
Is disease density-dependent or independent?
Why?
Density-dependent; disease will only become limiting
when the population is large and dense
![Page 13: Populations, Succession, and Biodiversity](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062409/56814547550346895db214cd/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Succession: 100
Primary Succession occurs when this abiotic
factor is missing.
SOIL
![Page 14: Populations, Succession, and Biodiversity](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062409/56814547550346895db214cd/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Succession: 200
Name two events that may initiate the process of secondary succession.
Natural Disaster; deforestation
![Page 15: Populations, Succession, and Biodiversity](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062409/56814547550346895db214cd/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Succession: 300
What is significant of the presence of a climax
community?
Climax communities are a stable group of plants and animals in an area; function optimally until
disturbance
![Page 16: Populations, Succession, and Biodiversity](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062409/56814547550346895db214cd/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Succession: 400
Explain the process in which a pioneer species, like
lichen, creates soil.
Lichen adheres to the surface of rock, and begins creating cracks (via
the release of acid from photosynthesis); rocks are broken
down, creating soil; death and decay of lichen add nutrients to soil
![Page 17: Populations, Succession, and Biodiversity](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062409/56814547550346895db214cd/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Succession: 500
Explain how larger, complex plant species come to existence
in an area undergoing ecological succession.
As pioneer species die and decompose, the soil is enriched, allowing for other
plants with the necessary adaptations to grow and develop; they too die and decay further enriching the soil with nutrients-
new plants with the necessary adaptations are able to move into the area, grow and
develop
![Page 18: Populations, Succession, and Biodiversity](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062409/56814547550346895db214cd/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Biodiversity: 100
The word used to describe the genetic variability of living
organisms
Biodiversity
![Page 19: Populations, Succession, and Biodiversity](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062409/56814547550346895db214cd/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Biodiversity: 200
What is an endangered species?
A group of organisms near extinction
![Page 20: Populations, Succession, and Biodiversity](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062409/56814547550346895db214cd/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Biodiversity: 300
Name and describe one effort to protect the Earth’s biodiversity.
National Parks-preservation of habitat and living organisms
Captive Breeding- breeding of endangered species held in
captivity; held until population grows and begins to stabilize;
released into natural environment
![Page 21: Populations, Succession, and Biodiversity](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062409/56814547550346895db214cd/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Biodiversity: 400Category 4 – 40 Points
Name and describe one way humans interfere with biodiversity
1.Hunting: Death of too many animals limits those genetically viable organisms
which can reproduce2.Deforestation: Loss of
habitat/resources may lead to death of organisms; loss of genetic variability in
gene pool
![Page 22: Populations, Succession, and Biodiversity](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062409/56814547550346895db214cd/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Biodiversity: 500
Explain the significance of the Earth’s biodiversity.
More biodiversity means the possibility of more medicine; loss of other
resources
![Page 23: Populations, Succession, and Biodiversity](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062409/56814547550346895db214cd/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Miscellaneous: 100
The name used to describe those factors
that cause a decrease in the size of a population.
Limiting Factors
![Page 24: Populations, Succession, and Biodiversity](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062409/56814547550346895db214cd/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Miscellaneous: 200
Logistic growth can only occur following a period of this type of growth.
Exponential
![Page 25: Populations, Succession, and Biodiversity](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062409/56814547550346895db214cd/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Miscellaneous: 300
Name two events that would initiate primary
succession.
Volcanic eruption; Glacial retreat (both exposing
bare rock)
![Page 26: Populations, Succession, and Biodiversity](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062409/56814547550346895db214cd/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Miscellaneous: 400
Describe what is meant by a density-independent limiting factor. Provide an example.
These factors are limiting to the population regardless of
its size; weather cycles, natural disasters, human
interference
![Page 27: Populations, Succession, and Biodiversity](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062409/56814547550346895db214cd/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Miscellaneous: 500
Would the introduction of a parasite become limiting to a
small, highly scattered population? Why or why not?
No…parasitism is a density-dependent LF; in order to
become limiting the population would need to be large and
dense
![Page 28: Populations, Succession, and Biodiversity](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062409/56814547550346895db214cd/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
