Ecology Day 2

OBJECTIVE(S):
2.8 ) Students will be able to differentiate between population
density and geographic distribution.
2.9 ) Students will be able to explain the 3 factors that affect
population size.
2.10 ) Students will be able to differentiate between exponential
and logistic growth and provide descriptions of the conditions
for each type of growth.
2.11 ) Students can define carrying capacity.
2.12 ) Students can define limiting factors.
2.13 ) Students can differentiate between density dependent and
density independent limiting factors.

WARM UP (5pts)
1) Write the levels or organization in order from SMALLEST to
LARGEST (hint: you drew a diagram for this is day 1).

2) This type of organism is a producer and usually a plant.

3) An animal that eats both meat and plants is called a(n)

4) This describes multiple populations living together in the same

area
.
5) This describes organisms that can breed and produce fertile
offspring
.
