Question

match the term in column a with the correct description in column b.
limiting factor
logistic growth
exponential growth
abiotic factor
carrying capacity
restricts the growth or size of a population
population growth that slows and levels off
population growth with a j - shaped curve
the maximum number of individuals the environment can support
nonliving parts of an environment like temperature or sunlight

Explanation:

• Limiting Factor: By definition, it restricts population growth or size.
• Logistic Growth: Characterized by growth that slows and levels off.
• Exponential Growth: Has a J - shaped curve.
• Abiotic Factor: Nonliving environmental parts like temperature or sunlight.
• Carrying Capacity: The maximum individuals the environment can support.

Answer:

Limiting Factor - Restricts the growth or size of a population
Logistic Growth - Population growth that slows and levels off
Exponential Growth - Population growth with a J - shaped curve
Abiotic Factor - Nonliving parts of an environment like temperature or sunlight
Carrying Capacity - The maximum number of individuals the environment can support
