Environmental Science Population

This is the most commonly seen distribution pattern. Example: wolves. This is usually because there are resources found in particular areas and the organisms need more space to survive.

• Random

• Uniform

• Clumped

• Ueven

which statement sounds accurate based on the graph data. 

• The zebra and lions do not affect each other

• when lions population increases, so does the zebra population

• When the zebra population increases, it causes the lion population to also increase

• when zebra populations go down, the zebra population goes up.

The dispersion pattern (distribution pattern) of a population describes the arrangement of individuals within a habitat at a particular point in time -

• Random Dispersion

• Clumped Dispersion

• Uniform Dispersion

Density is the number of individuals of the same species in that live in a given unit of area. Which statement is TRUE for populations with low density. (There are 3 correct answers here.)

• Finding a mate is difficult

• More space

• More infectious disease

• More resources/food

If the number of births in a population is the same as the number of deaths in a population, what will happen to the growth of the population?

• It will increase.

• It will decrease.

• It will stay the same.

• It will fluctuate.
