The number of organisms in a population tends to rise above and fall below the carrying capacity.

Limiting FactorsLimiting Factors Limiting Factor: an Limiting Factor: an

environmental factor that limits environmental factor that limits the growth, abundance, or the growth, abundance, or distribution of a population of distribution of a population of organisms in an ecosystem (e.g. organisms in an ecosystem (e.g. water, nutrients, sunlight, prey, water, nutrients, sunlight, prey, etc.).etc.).

for parasites to find hosts and spread the disease

– Stress: usually has a negative effect on populations. Stress can make organisms weak and more prone to disease.

Population Growth Population Growth Practice:Practice:

Bacteria reproduce by splitting (binary Bacteria reproduce by splitting (binary fission). A certain species reproduces fission). A certain species reproduces every 20 minutes. If we start with one every 20 minutes. If we start with one bacterial cell, how many cells will there bacterial cell, how many cells will there be at the end of 3hrs? be at the end of 3hrs?
