A long answer question will require one to three paragraphs to answer.
1. Density-independent and density-dependent factors can both limit the population size of a species. What is the difference between the two types? What are some examples of each?
Density dependent factors acts on a population but its effect not dependent upon the population density. If the population size is small, the effect will be same like if the population size is ore. the effect does not depend upon the population size. But If the factor is density dependent then the effect of the limiting factor will effect only when the population size is more or density of population is high. In case of low population density the effect of he factor will not be evidenced.
Some examples of density independent factor: Temperature, windstorm, pH of the water etc.
Some examples of density dependent factor : disease, Parasitism, competition , predation
Temperature of a place does not depend upon the population of different species. It increases at summer and decreases in winter. It is a natural phenomenon and it limits the population growth but does not depend upon population size. Similarly a natural disaster like thunderstrom hit a forest and its impact do not depend upon the population size. So these are the examples of population density independent factors .
Predation increases when prey population is more and it decreases when prey population is less. Similarly parasitism and disease spread among density rich populations where rate of transmission is more. It is comparatively less in less dense population where chance of contact and transmission will be low. Competition is severe when number of individuals is more as they share common resources whereas competition is less when the population size is less and hence there is ample resource to be utilized.
These are the explanation how density independent and density dependent factors affects the populations.

Density-Dependent Factors Density-Independent Factors Size of Population Affected Biotic or Abiotic? Examples compare and contrast density-dependent factors and density-independent factors in a chart. Include the following: a) the size of population affected b)if it is biotic or abiotic c) a minimum of three examples of each of the factors
A long answer question will require one to three paragraphs to answer. Compare and contrast r and K-selected life history strategies. How do the two strategies differ in regards to stability of the environment, organism size, energy invested in offspring, number of offspring produced, life expectancy, and number of reproductive events? Which survivorship curve depicts r and K-selected organisms?
A long answer question will require one to three paragraphs to answer. There are five major threats to biodiversity in our time. Define each of the threats and explain their effects on biodiversity. Of the five, which threat is the number one cause of biodiversity loss?
1. Differentiate between density-dependent and density-independent factors. Give several examples of each
7. Each row of graphs describes either a density-independent or density-dependent population. Please complete the two empty graphs using the information of the provided line. Label which row demonstrates density-independent or density-dependent population growth. For the one row of graphs where it should be included, circle where K is on each of the three graphs.

There are abiotic and biotic factors that keep population size of species under control. Provide two examples that affect (or have affected) population size of native species in WA (one example for density dependent and one for density independent). You need to pick two real examples, provide specific species names and habitats/ecosystems where those species occur. You need to use different examples from the ones I used in lectures. (Used Eastern grey squirrel and paramecium for competition)
what is the difference between a dependent and an independent variable in search? what are some examples of each?
= Endangered species sometimes breed in captivity. Why are such species endangered in the wild? A. Their population density is too high B. Loss of habitat C. Their environment is polluted What is the difference between Density-Dependent and Density-Independent Factors on populations? A. density-dependent factors exert a greater influence when there are more individuals; density-Independent exerts the same influence on all individuals regardless of their number OB. density-dependent factors exert a greater influence on larger, more dense Individuals, density-Independent factors...
