Answer: Population distributions may be described as <em>random, uniform</em><em> or </em><em>clustered.</em>

Explanation:

In a specified region, a population comprises any  number of members of the same species. Populations are described by sizes- the number of individuals; densities-  individuals in a set space (per unit area); and distribution- the dispersal or non dispersal of individuals (spread out or clumped). Population distributions may be described in three ways:

  • Random: the distribution pattern is haphazard, with no regular spacing; individuals grow independently of each other without competing and resources are consistent. <em>E.g. dandelion seed dispersal by wind </em>

  • Uniform:  individuals are evenly spaced in a predictable pattern; there may be some interaction and ideally, spaces between them  are maximized in order to ensure access to limited nutrients and resources.<em> E.g.  human farming- cornfields, orchards; allelopathy in plants like purple sage, which secretes chemicals to prevent the growth of other plants nearby</em>

  • Clumped: there is less distance between neighboring organisms and these individuals cluster together. This pattern is most common in environments where resources are scarce, or the species is dependent on social interactions.<em> E.g. lions are highly social and hunt in prides in the wild</em>

Answer:

The three types of population distribution are uniform, random, and clumped.

Uniform distribution is rare. Individuals are evenly spaced and there is fierce competition for resources.

In random distribution, some individuals are close together, and some are spread apart. This occurs when there are sufficient resources available.

In clumped distribution individuals are clustered around patchy resources. This is the most common type of distribution.

xeze [42]

The unit for power in electricity should be watt. The power show how many energy transferred during a time and the SI unit would be joule per second.  

The bill is charging for the amount of energy. The energy could be calculated by multiplying the power with time. In this case, the power in kilo watt will be multiplied by the duration in hour which make the kilowatt hour.

The air in the rural areas have become polluted and needs measures to prevent it from harmful consequences of the industrial advancements. Along with industries, the air pollution is also added through vehicles discharge, waste disposal, etc also contribute towards the non sustainability of the rural areas.
