Study Notes
Population Dynamics
- Carrying capacity regulates the growth rates of a species and establishes an equilibrium.
Population Growth
- Exponential growth is represented by a J-shaped graph.
- Logistic growth begins to slow down as a species nears its carrying capacity.
Life History Strategies
- r-Selected species have many offspring, but a low survival rate and little to no parental care.
Ecology
- Carrying capacity is the maximum population size that an environment can sustain indefinitely.
Water Properties
- Water's polarity allows it to dissolve more substances than any other liquid.
- Hydrogen bonding occurs between water molecules.
- Solid water (ice) is the densest state of water.
