Question

1. which population growth model is characterized by a j - shaped curve?

a. linear growth
b. logistic growth
c. exponential growth
d. oscillating growth

1. which factor influencing population growth involves the departure of individuals from a population to other areas?

a. death rate
b. immigration
c. birth rate
d. emigration

1. what would likely happen if a population exceeds its environments carrying capacity?

a. the population would continue to grow exponentially
b. the population would immediately go extinct
c. the carrying capacity would increase to accommodate the population
d. the population would experience increased mortality rates

Explanation:

1. Exponential growth has a J - shaped curve as the population grows rapidly without constraints initially.
2. Emigration is the departure of individuals from a population to other areas.
3. When a population exceeds its environment's carrying capacity, resources become scarce, leading to increased mortality rates.

Answer:

1. c. Exponential growth
2. d. Emigration
3. d. The population would experience increased mortality rates
