What is expected to happen to the death rate as population density and competition increase?

As the population density increases therefore we probably have an increase in birth rate, aslo less space becomes available to individuals and if competition increases that means we probably have an increase in fighting (contest competition) therefore there might be an increase in individuals dying. Therefore I would say the answer is (c) the increase in population density would cancel out the competition. Hope this helps :).

Answer: a. decreases

Explanation:

A population density can be define as the number of individuals in a population of a species living in a unit of area in a particular time. The population density can be influenced by number of births, deaths, immigration, emigration and competition. The number of live birth in a concerned population and immigration (introduction of the new members) are likely to increase the population density of a region. But the number of deaths and emigration (the members of the same population move to a new habitat), and the competition (the members of the same species may compete among themselves for the same resources, the superior one will receive the resources and the inferior one will loose and may die) will decrease the population density.

According to the given situation, death rate and competition among the individuals will likely to decrease the population density.

Which of the following statements is/are true of corals?

iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

The correct answers are option A. "Corals are animals". B. "Corals are benthic organisms"., and E. "Corals live in tropical water".

Explanation:

Corals are animals, what we know as a coral, is in fact a group of small animals called polyps that need food to survive. Corals are benthic organisms because they live at the bottom of the sea. The subclass of benthic organisms that corals belong is called Macrobenthos, for being large enough to be seen at the naked eye. Corals live mostly in tropical waters, because they do not tolerate waters with a temperature below 18 Celsius.

Explain why competition between individual of the same species is more often more intense than competition between memories of d

puteri [66]

One big reason for this is because individuals of the same species often have to fight over shared resources (this means shared food and shared environment).

Because they fight over a limited amount of space and food, competition between individuals within one species can be present and very tough.

On the other hand, having members of different species also possibly means different territories and different food sources. A lion has no quarrel with dolphins, while it can have a lot of fights with lions from different prides (large group of lions).

Bas_tet [7]

If the patient weight is 250 lb and the doses are 0.8mg/kg/hour for 12 hours, then the total amount of theophylline needed would be:
250lb * 0.453592kg/lb* 0.8mg/kg/hr * 12hr= <span>1088.6208mg

If the solution contains 800mg of </span>theophylline for 100ml volume, then the volume needed would be: 1088.62 mg / (800mg/100ml)= 136.07ml
