Mammals have lungs that have millions of alveoli that increase the surface available for gas exchange Two species utilizing the same food source is an example of interference competition Parasitism provides nutrients for the host The study of how organisms interact with one another and with their nonliving environment is ecology A population grows exponentially when the birth rate exceeds the death rate and immigration exceeds emigration During respiratory exchange, carbon dioxide moves from the blood into the alveoli due to diffusion down a concentration gradient Density-independent factors are typically abiotic. _Small body size is a typical feature of K-selected organisms An insect population grows exponentially until an early winter freeze kills almost all of the insects. The next spring, the population grows exponentially again. This type of population growth is called sustained cycling. Generally, r-selected organisms exhibit long life spans and extended parental care of offspring A population of rabbits introduced into an island grew rapidly for a few years and then the growth slowed down and stabilized. The population become stable because the carrying capacity was reached.
