Unit 4 Objectives: Populations
By the end of this unit the student should be able to:
1. Explain how populations grow.
2. Identify factors that affect population size.
3. Compare and contrast exponential and linear population growth.
4. Relate the reproductive patterns of different populations of organisms to models of population growth.
5. Predict the effects of limiting factors on population growth and carrying capacity.
6. Identify how the birthrate and death rate affect the rat at which population changes.
7. Compare the age-structure of rapidly growing, slow-growing, and zero-growth countries.
8. Explain the relationship between a population and the environment.
