A relationship between two organisms benefit most organisms are called

Biology
1 answer:
abruzzese [7]3 years ago
8 0

In mutualism, both organisms benefit. In commensalism, one benefits and the other is unaffected; in parasitism, one benefits and the other is harmed. Some of these relationships are so close that we speak of the composite of two species as one unit; for example, we speak of the composite of algae and fungi as lichens

Answer:

Complete the following problems using the equation:

Students are not required to memorize this formula but must know the meaning of the symbols:

D = diversity index

N = total number of organisms of all species found

Σ = the sum of

n = number of individuals of a particular species

D is a measure of species richness. A high value of D suggests a stable and ancient site, and a low value of D could suggest pollution, recent colonization or agricultural management. The index is normally used in studies of vegetation but can also be applied to comparisons of animal (or even all species) diversity.

Example: A lake contains 934 brown trout, 733 smallmouth bass, 34 catfish, 2003 carp,

234 steelheads, and 32 northern pikes.

Fish

Number (n)

n(n-1)

Brown Trout

934

934 x (934-1) = 871422

Smallmouth Bass

733

733 x (732) = 536556

Catfish

34

34 x (33) = 1122

Carp

2003

2003 x (2002)=4010006

Steelheads

234

234 x (233)=54522

Northern Pike

32

32 x (31)=992

Total (N)

3970

= 5 474 620

= 3970 x 3969 = 15 756 930

D = = 2.88

Simpson’s Diversity Index – Practice Problems

When comparing two or more samples, the location with the larger D has a greater amount of diversity. Note that a higher total population does not indicate higher diversity.

An area of the Black Forest in Germany contains 134 pitch pines, 24 douglas firs, and 53 red pines.

A meadow contains 1532 chestnut oaks, 342 black cherry trees, 12 white ash trees, and 1022 yellow birches.

Your backyard contains 12 fleas, 34 aphids, 84 ants, 93 beetles, and 1 butterfly.

An African National Park contains 15 lions, 94 giraffes, 1000 wildebeests, 50 elephants, and 5 hyenas.

Mindo (a city in Ecuador) has 832 toucans, 392 red headed barbets, 3 golden headed quetzals, 500 tanagers, 899 parrots, and 50 white capped dippers.

Answer the following questions in your workbook:

Calculate Simpson’s diversity index for each location. Include the table in your workbook.

Distinguish the differences in diversity between two locations listed above.

Explain what may lead to those differences.

Outline the significance of the Simpson’s Diversity Index. You may refer to the following online resource and your textbook to help outline your ideas - http://www.countrysideinfo.co.uk/simpsons.htm

What role does mutation play in the evolution of an organism?
Andrew [12]

Answer:

Mutation plays an important role in evolution. The ultimate source of all genetic variation is mutation. Mutation is important as the first step of evolution because it creates a new DNA sequence for a particular gene, creating a new allele.

In an ecosystem, energy from the Sun is transferred by way of _____.
Lorico [155]

Answer: food chains or webs

In an ecosystem, energy from the sun is transferred by the way of food chains or webs. A food chain is a linear sequence of organisms through which food and energy is passed as one organism eats the another. A food web is the interconnection or relation of food chains. In a food chain energy is distributed among the trophic levels. Plants are primary producers which traps energy from sun for photosynthesis and belong to first trophic level in the food chain. The energy of sun present in plants is transferred to subsequent higher trophic levels when plants are consumed by other organisms.
