Match the definition/example to the correct vocab term (drag and drop the definition to the matching term)

Draggable item		Corresponding Item
The pattern of spacing of a population within an area		Population density
The number of organisms per unit are (Example: people per square mile)		Population growth rate
Stable populations produce relatively low numbers of offspring; Offspring tend to be quite large		Spatial distribution
Production of numerous small offspring; require little or no parental care; short life spans		K-selected species
How fast a given population grows		r-selected species

Draggable item		Corresponding Item
"S" curve; occurs when the growth rate decreases as the population reaches carrying capacity		Population size
Number of individuals in the population		Carrying capacity
"J" curve; growth whose rate becomes even more rapid in proportion to the growing total number or size		Symbiosis
Maximum population of a species that a given habitat can support over a given time		Exponential growth
Interaction between two different organisms living in close physical association, typically to the advantage of both		Logistic growth

Population growth rate

Stable populations produce relatively low numbers of offspring; Offspring tend to be quite large

Spatial distribution

Production of numerous small offspring; require little or no parental care; short life spans

K-selected species

How fast a given population grows

r-selected species
