Apes Chapter 10

In a range of tolerance, each population has a point beyond which no member of the population can live. This area beyond the ability to tolerate the conditions is called the

• optimum range.

• zone of intolerance.

• zone of tolerance.

• zone of physiological stress.

• Total energy produced from refined petroleum products.

• Energy used to move control rods in a light water nuclear reactor.

• Total energy collected in the filters of emissions towers in coal-fired power plants.
