Biology Essentials- r and K Selection Guided Viewing 1: What is r stand for? Growth Rate.

2: What happens if we have a positive r? We are gonna have an exponential growth, well run out of food. Competition. We are gonna have logistic growth . 3: What is N? # of individual in the population. 4: What is K? Carrying capacity, 5: Explain the survivorship curve. (Give an example for each) TYPE I:
Human: we give a lot of parental care, we survived and live longer.

TYPE II: Songbirds: their life span is limit. Short. TYPE III: Frog: many die in their rst years, and some will survive. 6: How does the environment affect the survivorship curve? It will make a radical change. 7: What are r selected species? Explain characteristics of these species. Species that base their life in r growth rate. Species that quickly grow. 8: What are K selected species? Explain characteristics of these species.
Their life around K = carrying capacity. They want to live longer. They live in a stable environment.
