Chapter 10, Problem 1TC
Summary Introduction

To determine:

The reason that enlarged tonsils and adenoids cause the problem of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).

Introduction:

OSA is a disorder of sleepiness. It makes an individual to have slow and difficult breathing while sleeping. This occurs due to narrowing and sometimes blocking of the muscles of the air passage or the narrowing of smooth muscles of the respiratory tract or by the enlargement of the adenoids and the tonsils. It can cause snoring, restlessness, sleepiness during day time and many other problems. If left untreated it may prove to be really harmful.

1.) Community Diversity: The brown and orange line represent two different plant communities. a. Which color represents the community with a higher species richness? b. Which color represents the community with a higher species evenness? Relative abundance 0.1 0.04 0.001 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 18 20 22 24 Rank abundance c. What is the maximum value of the Simpson's diversity index (remember, Simpson's index is D = p², Simpson's diversity index is 1-D)? d. If the Simpson's diversity index equals 1, what does that mean about the number of species and their relative abundance within community being assessed?
