The goldenrod gall fly lays its eggs on the goldenrod plant. The larval fly causes the plant to form a structure called a gall in which the larva lives until it becomes an adult fly. The flies cannot reproduce without goldenrod. The distribution of the goldenrod gall fly is primarily determined by Group of answer choices -random chance -biotic factors -abiotic factors

Consider one of the factors you listed above. Would the exact same individual fish be found in the zone of tolerance for temperature as they would for the factor you identified? Why or why not?
The length of a food chain is limited by the efficiency of the energy transfer along the chain. According to the Energetic hypothesis, what is the percentage of the energy stored in the organic matter of each trophic level that is converted to organic matter at the next trophic level. 10% 20% 50% None of these answers Among the four statements which ones reflect density-dependent regulation of population size? 1. A population of mice in a barn declines because a farmer has acquired two cats. 2. Mosquitos disappear from.an area after the first frost. 3.

Carrying Capacity and Limiting Factors Carrying capacity is defined as the number of organisms that an ecosystem can support. The carrying capacity is determined by limiting factors that determine the growth of populations within the ecosystem. Biotic limiting factors include the availability of food and competition with other organisms. Abiotic limiting factors include space, temperature, and the availability of water. The carrying capacity and the limiting factors of an ecosystem are related. A population will experience logistic growth due to limiting factors and experience exponential growth due to an absence of limiting factors, as shown in the graph. Exponential growth Population size Red-tailed hawk Logistic growth The Sonoran Desert covers portions of Arizona, California, and Northwestern Mexico. The desert is rich in biodiversity and includes organisms such as desert cottontail rabbits, coyotes, birds, insects, reptiles, and many plant species. While it is mostly hot and dry,…
The competitive exclusion principle is best defined as Multiple Choice the competition among individuals of the same species in the same location. the principle that two species that occupy the same niche cannot coexist indefinitely. an interaction between species that enhances the fitness of the exploiting individual while reducing the fitness of the exploited individual. the principle that if an organism allocates energy to one function, such as growth or reproduction, it reduces the amount of energy available to other functions.
A population of rabbits, when introduced to a new environment with abundant resources, would most likely display what type of growth? Logistic growth Exponential growth Negative growth No growth
What is the relationship between population density and available resources? exponentially proportional There is no relationship. directly proportional inversely proportional
Which of the following is a regulator of population size (helps to move it toward its carrying capacity)? Weather (storms, floods, droughts) Density dependence Demographic stochasticity
Populations of most organisms follow an exponential model of population growth. Group of answer choices True False
Some Terms Related to Growth Patterns Biotic potential Exponential growth Logistic growth Carrying capacity A growth pattern that forms an S-shaped curve. Answer Theoretical highest possible reproductive capacity of a population given little to no environmental resistance. Answer A growth pattern that forms a J-shaped curve. Answer The theoretical population size that a given region can sustain over a prolonged time period. Answer
The growth of a population of natural resources (such as hardwood trees) over time is illustrated by the graph. Two significant pieces of information are included: the environment's carrying capacity and the maximum sustainable yield. The environment's carrying capacity is the point at which all available resources are being used by the organisms in the population, and the maximum sustainable yield is the point at which the highest number of the population are being harvested without impairing the populations' growth. (see pic.) Identify the assumptions about population growth that are implicit in the figure. (multiple answers can be chosen.) A) The environment's carrying capacity does not change over time due to any increase or decrease of resource availability. B) The population grows logistically until it nears the environment's carrying capacity and does not diverge from this rate over time. C) The maximum sustainable yield grows logistically until it reaches the…
