Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

<em>The carrying capacity of the ecosystem for the white-footed mouse reduced in response to the changes in the amount of worm infected mice in the population.</em>

The carrying capacity of an ecosystem for a particular population of organisms is the maximum number of organisms the ecosystem can support based on the resources it has.

<u>The ideal carrying capacity of the ecosystem for the white-footed mouse oscillates between 36 to 40 in graph 1. The carrying capacity range reduced in graph 2 from 36 - 40 to 30 - 36 as a result of changes made to the number of mice infected with parasitic worms in the population of the animal. </u>

Thus, the introduction of more worm-infected mice into the population probably put more pressure on the ecosystem resources thereby reducing the carrying capacity.

(b) Identify the dependent variable in the experiments. Identify a control group missing from the second experiment. Justify the
hammer [34]

Hello. You have not submitted the experiments to which this question refers, which makes it impossible for it to be answered. However, I will try to help you in the best possible way.

A dependent variable is one that is influenced by an element, in order to present a result, that is, it is a variable that does not establish itself, being dependent on another variable to establish itself. An example of a dependent variable can be seen in an experiment that seeks to determine the differences in growth rates of bean plants that were fertilized with different organic fertilizers. As you can see, this is an experiment where the different organic fertilizers influence differences in the growth rate of bean plants. Thus, the growth of these plants depends on the fertilizer, this growth being the variable dependent on the experiment.

A control group, in turn, is an element of the experiment that does not receive the element that is being tested in the same experiment. The control group is important, because it allows the researcher to see the results of a system where the tested element does not exist, thus being able to determine the real differences that the tested element is capable of causing. Using the same example presented in the paragraph above, we can see that the different organic fertilizers are the elements tested in the experiment. These fertilizers will be applied to the plants, however it is important that at least one of these plants does not receive any fertilizer, so that the difference between a system with fertilizer and a system without fertilizer can be evaluated. This plant that received no fertilizer is the control group.
