  4. 14. when the population experiences a sudden loss of all members

  3. 3. occurs when the total number of organisms increases by an ever increasing rate (the "J curve")
  4. 4. where in the world the population is located
  5. 5. when growth rate decreases as population size approaches carrying capacity
  6. 7. when population growth is rapid and even
  7. 8. how many individuals are in an area
  8. 9. food, water, shelter, and mates
  9. 12. slow, will become exponential as the size of the population increases
