Population Growth
BIOXII13: ORGANISMS AND POPULATION

344127 The sigmoid curve of population growth is also known as

1 Humboldt- Pearl logistic growth
2 Paul-Ehrlich logistic growth
3 Verhulst-Pearl logistic growth
4 Darwin's logistic growth
BIOXII13: ORGANISMS AND POPULATION

344128 The equation of Verhulst-Pearl logistic growth is \(\dfrac{\mathrm{dN}}{\mathrm{dt}}=\mathrm{rN}\left[\dfrac{\mathrm{K}-\mathrm{N}}{\mathrm{K}}\right]\)
From this equation, K indicates:

1 Intrinsic rate of natural increase
2 Biotic potential
3 Carrying capacity
4 Population density
BIOXII13: ORGANISMS AND POPULATION

344129 As the number of individuals approaches the carrying capacity of a population, which of the following is predicted by the sigmoidal growth curve?

1 Population biomass will remain the same
2 Population density will increase exponentially
3 Population growth rate will increase
4 Population growth rate will remain same
BIOXII13: ORGANISMS AND POPULATION

344130 Emigration pertains

1 One way inward movement
2 One way outward movement
3 Periodic departure and return
4 Man movement of entire population
BIOXII13: ORGANISMS AND POPULATION

344131 The rate at which a population grows or declines depends upon the rate of

1 Births and emigration
2 Immigration
3 Deaths
4 All of these
