Exponential Growth vs. Logistic Growth
• Exponential growth is a rapid population increase due to an abundance of resources.
Lag Phase = initial period of slow growth
Exponential Growth Phase= period of rapid growth when
population repeatedly increasesin size; does not continue forever

Ecological factors limit population growth.
• A limiting factor is something that keeps the size of a population down. 1) Density-dependent limiting factors
- affected by the number of individuals in a given area- ex: predation, competition, parasitism and disease

Importance of Biodiversity
• Every organism has its own niche (ex: producers, decomposers)
• All organisms depend on each other (ex: symbiosis, food chain/food web)
• Provide a variety of resources:‐ food‐ clean water‐medicine‐ recycled nutrients

Introduced species can disrupt stable relationships in an ecosystem.
• Non‐native species may introduce parasites, plants, and animal species that are not native to a particular area.
• Many non‐native species compete against native species for the resources (food, shelter) and disruptthe balance of the environment.
• Non‐native species flourish because they have few natural predators or parasites to slow down their population growth.
