Fall Final Review

Density dependent factor.

In a closed system of constant mass, energy is neither created nor destroyed, but is transferred from one organism to another.

Growth Rate = (Birth Rate - Death Rate) / 10. For Sheldonia: (136 - 107) / 10 = 2.9%.

Zooplankton.

Troposphere.

Factors that affect population growth in relation to the population density, such as food availability, predation, and disease.

It explains how energy flows through ecosystems and is transformed by organisms.

CBR = (Number of live births / Total population) x 1000.

Phytoplankton are primary producers that convert sunlight into energy through photosynthesis.

The maximum population size that an environment can sustain indefinitely without being degraded.
