Study Guide Overview

This study guide covers population dynamics, focusing on exponential and logistic growth. It explains influencing factors like competition, biome, and self-sufficiency. Key terms include carrying capacity (K), intrinsic rate of increase (r), and environmental resistance. It also covers graph interpretation, real-world examples, and practice questions relating these concepts.

Which of these factors does NOT influence the population growth rate? 🤔

Competition for resources

The species' ability to sustain itself

Environmental conditions (biome)

The age of the species
