The document discusses factors that affect population growth such as an organism's reproduction rate and environmental resistances like disease. It notes that the current world population is over 7 billion and continues growing due to increased food availability and medical advances overcoming resistances. High reproduction rates combined with fewer limiting factors allow populations to approach the carrying capacity of their environment until reaching equilibrium.

2. Categorize the different biotic
potential and environmental
resistance (e. g. diseases,
availability of food and predators)
that affect population explosion.

4. What is the estimated
population of the world?
Why does the population
continue to grow?
How population growth affects
the population?

6. organism's rate of reproduction
its litter size

7. one
offspring per year
thousands of
offspring per year

8. On the average, spiders are capable of producing hundreds of
offspring at a time, cats and dogs can produce four to eight
offspring at a time, and humans can only produce one to three
offspring at a time.

9. environmental resistance
