Describe one niche in the ecosystem.

DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

Niche can be described as the role or position that a particular organism has in its ecosystem.

For example, honeybees which will gather nectar from flowers to make honey is an example of a niche. The particular role of honeybees in an ecosystem is to collect nectar in that ecosystem from different flowers and to produce honey. Other organisms living in the same environment will not perform the same function in the ecosystem.

There are 2,000 mice living in a field. If 1,000 mice are born each month and 200 mice die each month, what is the per capita gr

Ivan

For 2,000 mice living in a field, the per capita growth rate is mathematically given as

NT=0.4

<h3>What is the per capita growth rate (rmax) of mice over a month?</h3>

Generally, the birth and death rate is mathematically given as

BT=1000/2000

BT=0.5

Where

DT=200/2000

DT=0.1

In conclusion, per capita growth rate

NT=0.5-0.1

NT=0.4
