Explanation:

• Population Growth Rate: This term refers to the rate at which a population is changing. It takes into account factors like births, deaths, immigration, and emigration to determine how the size of a population is evolving over time.
• Carrying Capacity: It is defined as the maximum number of individuals an area can support. This is influenced by resources such as food, water, and space available in that area.
• Exponential Growth: This is rapid, non - stop growth due to lack of limiting factors. In an ideal situation with abundant resources and no constraints (like predators, limited space etc.), a population can grow exponentially.
• Population Density: It is the number of organisms in a given area. It is calculated by dividing the total number of organisms by the area they occupy.

Answer:

• Population Growth Rate: The rate at which a population is changing
• Carrying Capacity: The Maximum number of individuals an area can support
• Exponential Growth: Rapid, Non - stop growth due to lack of limiting factors
• Population Density: Number of Organisms in a given area
