Question

1. which of the following data are necessary to calculate population growth? (choose all that apply)

growth rate
death rate
birth rate
carrying capacity

Explanation:

Population growth (in its basic form) is calculated using the difference between the number of new individuals added (birth rate) and the number of individuals lost (death rate). The growth rate is the result of this calculation, not a data point used to find it. Carrying capacity relates to the maximum sustainable population, not the calculation of growth itself.

Answer:

• death rate
• birth rate
