4. Examine the age structure diagram. Which (A, B or C) is most likely to have an increase in population, which will experience a stable or decline in population? Explain your answer. Age (A) (B) Postreproductive (45 and older) 45 Reproductive (15–44 yrs) 15 Prereproductive 오 오 (0-14 yrs)
Explain why you agree or disagree with the followingpropositions:a. Stabilizing population is not desirable because, without more consumers, economic growth would stop.b. The world will never run out of resources becausewe can use technology to find substitutes and tohelp us reduce resource waste.c. We can shrink our ecological footprints while creating beneficial environmental impacts.
1. How does the study of population ecology help us understand why some populations grow, some remain stable, and others decline? 2. The growth rates of various populations are usually expressed in percentages. Why are percentages advantageous in comparing growth rates? 3. The human population has grown as we have increased our global carrying capacity. In your opinion, can the global carrying capacity continue to increase? Explain your answer. 4. Why has human population growth, which increased exponentially for centuries, started to decline in the past few decades? 5. Malthus originally suggested that the population of England would collapse because it could not continue to increase its production of food. Why did this not happen?
The graph shows the worldwide human population from 1950 to 2050. Data for the future years are predictions. According to the ideas of Thomas Malthus, what are the predicted changes to the human population after 2050? A. The population would continue to increase at the same rate, due to constant food supplies. B. The population would increase more rapidly, due to advances in technology. C. Eventually the population would stop increasing or would decrease, due to lack of food and living space. D. Eventually the population would decrease to zero, because of war, famine, or disease.
The human population growth rate has been getting smaller in the last few decades. Which of the following is the primary cause of this decline? Group of answer choices a. decreasing birth rate b. increasing death rate c. increasing r d. lack of resources
14. Which of the following is NOT a factor affecting population growth? * A. Stability B. Natality C. Mortality D. Genetically modified organism 15. What term refers to the over-harvesting of species and natural resources to the point that the ecosystem or habitat cannot compensate or sustain itself? * A. Fragmentation B. Overexploitation C. Epidemics D. Pandemic
What is the fundamental reason human populations have been able to increase exponentially for an extended period? Group of answer choices a. Humans have a high value of r b. mutualisms with other species have helped to increase population size c. Humans have a type I survivorship d. Human technology has continuously increased K e.Human populations started at very small sizes
Which of the following statements about exponential growth is FALSE? O a. Increases in the size of the population do not affect per capita rate of increase (r). Ca. b. Exponential growth adds a constant number of individuals per unit time to a population as N gets larger. C. In reality, it is not possible for exponential population growth to continue indefinitely. d. In an exponentially growing population, the % increase of the population per unit * time doesn't depend on the number of individuals (N) in the population.
The demographic transition model predicts a decline in population during the ________stage a. preindustrial c. industrial b. transitional d. postindustrial
One reason why human populations have been able to sidestep the factors that usually control population growth is that: a. the carrying capacity for humans has remained constant sincehumans first evolved. b. agriculture and industrialization have increased the carryingcapacity for our species. c. the population growth rate (r) for the human population hasalways been small. d. the age structure of human populations has no impact on itspopulation growth. e. plagues have killed off large numbers of humans at certaintimes in the past.
Figure 45.16 Age structure diagrams for rapidly growing, slow growing, and stable populations are shown in stages 1 through 3. What type of population change do you think stage 4 represents?
1.) If a person weighs 50 kilograms how many kilograms of meat and vegetables could he have possible eaten? 2.) Between a meat-eater and plant-eater who is less expensive for the environment to support? 3.) Why is it that people who are vegetarian are stronger than meat eating people? 4.) If people will kill the snakes and shrew. What organisms in the Example will have population explosion?
