Chapter 40, Problem 4SA
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The total worms present after thirty days as 400 were present 30 days ago, and 800 are present under constant conditions.
Introduction:
Exponential growth is the condition that occurs when the number of individuals in a population increases by the same proportion of its total number in each generation. The population growth can be calculated based on the total number of individuals and per capita growth rate.

- Plasmodium is a vector for mosquitos. It is a protozoan that is the causal agent of malaria, which is responsible for killing as many 855,000 people in 2013, the majority of them being children. Populations of mosquitos are strongly influenced by the availability of standing water for egg-laying and larval development. How might mosquito density, and thereby human mortality, be affected by patterns of rainfall?arrow_forwardPlease answer fast 3) There are very few native reptile and amphibian species in Maine. What abiotic factor limits their ability to survive there? A) There is not ample water in Maine. B) There is too much competition in Maine. C) The temperature in Maine is too high. D) temperature in Maine is too low. 5) In the Galapagos, the medium ground finch, Geospiza fortis, and large ground finch, Geospiza magnirostris, both live on the island Daphne Major. Scientists have studied these species and recorded detailed information, which includes observations about their diets and beak sizes. After a long period of drought, there were very few seeds available for both species to eat, and many of the finches died. The scientists who studied these birds observed that the average size of G. fortis beaks decreased dramatically during the years after the drought, whereas the average size of G. magnirostris beaks increased. G. fortis became specialized in eating very small seeds, whereas G. magnirostris…arrow_forward5a.
