you have to get answers from two chapters. answers can be short and simple as long as they are answered correctly


Online Assignment C- Chapters 52 and 53 · The textbook should be used to answer these questions. If you don’t have a textbook, please reach out. · Your answers do not have to be in complete sentences, but they should be comprehendible and written in your own words. · Put your answers in a different color (non-blinding PLEASE ), so that your answers are distinguishable from the questions. Failure to comply will cause you to be deducted 3 pts. Chapter 52- Chapter Assignment Part I: Ecology 1. Describe in detail the 6 different types of ecology listed in Chpt 52. 2. Give an example of each of the 6 different types of ecology. Part II: Global Climate Patterns Visit the following website and answer the follow questions: www.youtube.com/watch?v=WLRA87TKXLM 1. Summarize what is happening during the spring, summer, fall, and winter solstice according to the video? Part III: Biomes 1. Choose 5 different terrestrial biomes and give a detailed description (at least 4 characteristics listed) of each listed in Chpt 52. 2. Choose 5 different aquatic biomes and give a detailed description (at least 4 characteristics listed) of each listed in Chpt 52. Chapter 53- Chapter Assignment Part I: Population Ecology 1. Define population, population ecology, density, and dispersion. 2. What is the difference between immigration and emigration? 3. Explain clumped, uniform, and random dispersion. 4. Define demography? What two components are of particular interest to demographers? 5. What’s meant by a survivorship curve? Give a detailed description of Type I-III survivorship curves. 6. Belding’s ground squirrels show what type of survivorship curve and give your reasoning? 7. Humans show what type of survivorship curve and give your reasoning? 8. A life table is defined as what? Looking at table 53.1, how many female Belding’s ground squirrels were alive at ages 1-2, and 9-10, respectively? 9. What is a reproductive table? Why do you think demographers often concentrate on the female population? 10. Based on the reproductive table, Table 53.2, what is the average number for female offspring ages 5-6 years old and 9-10 years old, respectively? 11. How many died in those groups during the year? 12. Why do you think the number alive at the start of the year for 9-10 years old are so low? 13. How are predation, territoriality, and disease related to population density? Part II: Growth Curves and Carrying Capacities According to your textbook, “Exponential growth cannot be sustained in any population. A more realistic population model limits growth by incorporating carrying capacity, the maximum population size the environment can support…Growth levels off as population size approaches the carrying capacity.” Review the graphs below and answer the questions. Define the following the terms: a. Lag phase: b. Exponential growth phase: c. Stationary phase: d. Death phase: Species 5 1. What day range represents the lag phase? 2. What day range represents the exponential phase? 3. What population size represents the carrying capacity? 4. Let’s say our species is a type of bacterium. If the population started to decline into the death phase give a reason as to why that would occur. Rabbit graph 5. What month represents the lag phase? 6. Roughly how many rabbits are in the population at the beginning of the exponential phase? 7. Roughly how many rabbits are in the population at the end of the exponential phase? 8. What population size represents the carrying capacity? 9. If the population started to decline into the death phase give a reason as to why that would occur.
