The living influences that can affect an organism

Limiting factors that affect all populations in similar ways regardless of population size.

Movement into a population

The range of physical and biological conditions in which species lives and obtains its ability to survive. A functional role or job in the environment

Movement out of a population

All the organisms and populations living together in the same area together with their physical environment.

Maximum number of individuals a particular environment can support.

Group of the same species living in the same area.

Limiting factors that operate strongly when the population is large.

Different populations living together in the same area.

Growth with unlimited resources that doubles in size over time. J-graph

The area where an organism lives in an ecosystem

A factor that controls the growth of a population.

Group of ecosystems that share similar climates and dominant species.

The nonliving /physical components of an ecosystem

Growth where a population’s growth slows and stops. S-curve graph
