In class, we discussed the effect of size structure on population dynamics. Review the information about size structure in two different populations. Assume that both populations have access to the same amount of food and environmental resources. Which of the following is TRUE? Population #1 Population #2 Population Size 1,000 1,000 Number of large individuals 700 200 Number of small individuals 300 800 Group of answer choices Organisms in pop #2 will consume more food and resources in total than pop #1. Organisms in pop #1 will be hungrier than those in pop #2. There are more females in pop #2 than in pop #1. Individuals in pop #1 will consume less food per organism than in pop #2.

Step 1
Population #1 has 700 large individuals, while Population #2 has 200 large individuals. This means that Population #1 has a higher number of large individuals. Show more…

2. Which statement best explains the effect of resources on population size? a. the exponential growth curve models the effects of limiting resources on population size b. Limited resources decrease the growth rate of population size c. Density-dependent factors invariably lead to a positive DN d. all of the above 26. The relationship between population growth and resources can be described as a. inverse; as one goes up the other goes down b. parallel; when one goes up so does the other c. complex; there are many contributing factors d. equal; they both level off in any population 11. Solar energy can be trapped in the atmosphere by a. the chemical bonds of carbon dioxide b. the chemical bonds of ozone c. radiation d. sunlight

If the sex ratio in a population is significantly different from 50:50, then which of the following will always be true? The population will enter the extinction vortex. The minimum viable population size will increase. The minimum viable population size will decrease. The effective population size will be greater than the actual population size. The effective population size will be less than the actual population size.

Population dynamics is the Study of factors that influence the size, form and fluctuations of population, it emphasizes on change, energy flow and nutrient cycling, both Abiotic and biotic factors affect the population dynamics over time and we can quantify population dynamics in several ways.prove the statement given above by one example, make a non-fictional scenario and discuss each step of phenomenon.
