Questions and Answers

1.

- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
2.

The rate of population growth decreases when r<0 or R<1.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
3.

Compare and contrast the terms C and K. How are these two terms similar? How are they different? Be sure to define each term in your answer.
4.

Evaluate the effectiveness of the density-dependent population growth model. Does it accurately model the growth behavior of species? If not, give two examples of when the density-dependent population growth model works well and its relation to other population models.
5.

Explain how R fits into both models (density-independent and dependent) and how it measures both reproductive success and the ability for a population to grow.
