Begin Ch. 5: Populations & Communities

-Begin Chapter 5: Populations & Communities

1. WARM UP 11/4/15 (left side)
Populations 
You have just been hired for a summer job for the month of July. You will be paid one cent on the first day of the month. Each day following, your pay will be double what it was the previous day. Take a few minutes – no calculators! – to write down how much money you would earn on the 10th, 20th, and final day of July (31st).
What's this have to do with biology?...
Just like the growth of your income, populations can grow exponentially over time, but there are limits to what an ecosystem can sustain. This is called its carrying capacity.
