Range of Tolerance
Data Analysis
One of the responsibilities of an aquatic biologist is to make sure that the abiotic factors stay
wiumh the acceptable ranges for the optimal help for the Species within the local ecosystem.
Bcologists, including aquatic biologists, use the range of tolerance to monitor the number of
different populations residing in the area.
m order to do so they use statistical models. Create a graph displaying on the x-axis the ranges of
abiotic conditions such as temperature to study the population of rainbow trout in the area ( use
the launch model as an example), Label each interval with temperature range and condition.
What Causing Stress in Rainbow Trout Population
The optimal range is the amount of an abiotic factor that produces the highest possible
population. For water temperature, this would be about 6-10°C. Label this area on the
graph.

Select one type of these ecosystems that you can find near your place of residence. Identify that specific type of ecosystem. Categorize the component organisms present ONLY in that particular ecosystem. Using these representative organisms (those given in 2b above), make a diagram to clearly illustrate a food web to show the flow of energy in that ecosystem.arrow_forwardYou will be examining the relationship among organisms inhabiting a small lake.

What biotic and abiotic factors will affect the bluegill in the lake? Looking at the organisms associated with the lake, organize them into three trophic groups: producers, consumers, and decomposers. Separate the consumers into three subcategories: herbivores, carnivores, and omnivores. Create 3 different food chains found within the lake. Food chain #1 should contain 3 organisms, food chain #2 should contain 4 organisms, and food chain # 3 should contain 5 organisms. The arrows should point in the direction the energy is flowing through the food chain. You can either use the “>” as your arrow or the Insert Symbol function to insert an arrow into your food chains.

- An ecosystem is made up of plants, animals and microbes on one hand and air, water and mineral soil on the other hand. Discuss how these factors are connected to form the ecosystem.arrow_forward1. This photograph was taken at a location on Mount Saint Helens called Meta Lake. The area was clear-cut before the volcano erupted in 1980, meaning that all trees were cut down and used for timber or other products. The photograph was taken in 1983, 3 years after the volcano erupted. Describe the biotic and abiotic factors you see in the photograph. Answer: Type your answer here.

From these components, describe and illustrate the different relationships (species-to-species interactions) found in the assigned ecosystem and relate those relationships with the non-living component of the aquatic ecosystem.

- Is it possible to describe abiotic factors as more or less important to an ecosystem than biotic factors? Explain your reasoning.arrow_forwardAll biotic and abiotic factors are interrelated. In nature you will find that if one factor is changed or removed, it impacts the availability of other resources within the system. Knowing this, give an example of what might happen given the following situations. In the areas with the open space place either an A for abiotic or B for biotic to identify what the object is.arrow_forwardChoose TWO (2) different types of ecosystem, in your surrounding area.
