The answer is 6 per m2.

A population density is the number of animals per 1 m2.
So, this problem can be solved by using a proportion:
If 60 raccoons live in 10 m2, how many raccons will live in the 1 m2.
60 raccoons : 10 m2 = x raccoons : 1 m2
60 raccoons : 10 = x raccoons
x raccoons = 6 raccoons

Thus, the population density is 6 raccoons per m2.

Answer:

The correct answer is option A, 6\frac{Racoons}{m^2}\\

Explanation:

The Population density of any species in an ecosystem is equal to the number of that species living in one unit of area.  

Thus , population density can be represented as  

\frac{Total population }{Total area of habitat} \\

Substituting the given values in above equation, we get -

= \frac{60}{10} \frac{Racoons}{m^2}\\= 6 \frac{Racoons}{m^2}\\

AnnyKZ [126]

Answer:

The correct answer would be - functions.

Explanation:

The structure of the skin cells and muscle cells are different and have a different number of cell organelles on their role in the body. Skin cells are a special type of cells that keep on shedding and replaced by new ones therefore they need less energy and have many mitochondria.

In contrast, muscle cells have different structures as they need a high amount of energy to make movements and therefore have lots of mitochondria in the cell.
