- You monitor the white-tailed deer population for the Wright State campus and woods and estimate 14 deer in the first year and 21 deer in the second year. (A) Assume the deer population is growing geometrically. Based on these data, what is geometric growth rate constant (A)? (B) Geometric growth patterns can also be modeled exponentially. If modeled exponentially, would you expect the exponential growth rate constant () to be greater than, less than, or equal to 0? Why? You monitor the deer population for many years. The population grows for a few more years, then seems to stabilize around 75 deer. (C) Given this information, what would be a more appropriate model for the deer population growth? Why?

- A) Affluent, more developed nations consume a disproportionate amount of Earth’s resources and produce a disproportionate amount of wastes, including carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases that are causing global climate change. The consequences of climate change include rising sea levels, drought, and extreme weather events. Do you think affluent countries should be responsible for helping poorer, less developed countries bear the financial burden of these consequences? Substantiate your answer B) Some people are not convinced that human-induced global climate change is a real phenomenon. Using your knowledge of the scientific process and the information from this chapter, develop arguments you could use to explain the scientific basis for saying that global climate change is truly occurring and that people are responsible for it.arrow_forwardThree characteristics of a population are the birth rate, growth rate, and death rate.
