Summary Introduction

Ecology is the study of relationships between an organism and its environment. The abundance and distribution of earth are formed by both abiotic (physical or non-living) and biotic factors (living organism). It also has practical uses in wetland management, energy conservation, human social interaction, economics, and community health.

Explanation of Solution

Difference between Metapopulation and population:

MetapopulationPopulation
The collection of populations or population of populations or groups of groups are called as metapopulation that is made up of identical or same species. In metapopulation, every subgroup is separated from all other subgroups.

The number of entire organisms of the similar species or group which reproduce and survive in a specific time and place is known as a population. A population has an ability of interbreeding.

Metapopulation theory has three essential components include colonization, dispersal, and extinction.

Size, range, and density are three key features that define a population.

Example: Population of coral reef fishes and butterfliesExample: People living in New York City is over eight million.

One of the ways for a cell to generate ATP is through the oxidative phosphorylation. In oxidative phosphorylation 3 ATP are produced from every one NADH molecule. In respiration, every glucose molecule produces 10 NADH molecules. If a cell is growing on 5 glucose molecules, how much ATP can be produced using oxidative phosphorylation/aerobic respiration?
