Answer:

Bacteria and Scorpio: These organisms have high biotic potential as they can produce thousands of offspring at a time. They also have a short gestation time, so throughout their life, they produce more offsprings

Answer:

- Factors that are density dependent

Disease Predation

-Explain why a forest fire is considered to be a density dependent limiting factors

A forest fire causes a dramatic, sudden reductions in population size. It affects all population in this way, regardless of whether they are big or small

- Give two examples of organisms that differ greatly in their biotic potential

Organisms such as humans or orangutans have low biotic potential because they produce only one or few off springs at a time and have limited time span to produce offsprings. Organisms such as bacteria or scorpion have high biotic potential. They can produce hundreds of thousands of offspring treatment and with short gestation

- List two factors that increase the growth rate of a population and two factors that decrease the growth rate of a population

High birth rate and immigration increases growth rate and high death rate and emigration decreases growth rate of a population

-Describe the effects that limiting factors and biotic potential have on a population growth

Limiting factors, slow population growth and factors that determines the maximum amount of growth in a population. Biotic potential determines the maximum ability to produce under the ideal conditions
