Population Growth

Bethany Warner
1. I counted 410 seeds in my Bell pepper for the first generation.
2. By the 5th generation there would be 11,585,620,100,000 (or 1.15856201E+13) plants.
3. My graph starts out with no generations and with no plants and with the first generation it
grows to 410 and then it grows increasingly faster until it hits the fifth generation that we
stopped at.
4. Droughts; Floods; Fires; Predators; Earth-quakes; Not enough food.

5. Droughts can cause plants to stop growing and this could make it so that
some animals would starve and then that would lead to more animals
starving so this would lead to a decrease in population. Floods could wipe out
whole ecosystems and so could fires. Earth-quakes could devastate the area
causing many things to go wrong. If the food chain is smaller than the
predators cannot sustain a larger population so they would decrease too.
