    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.
