It is estimated that the world human population reached 3 billion people in 1959 and 6 billion in 1999. Assuming a carrying capa

city of 16 billion humans, write and solve the differential equation for Gompertz growth, and determine what year the population reached 7 billion. Was logistic growth or Gompertz growth more accurate, considering world population reached 7 billion on October 31,2011

Answer:

i ) Gompertz equation :

\frac{dP(t)}{dt} = \alpha In ( \frac{K}{P(t)} )P(t)

ii) The year that population reaches 7 billion is 2013

iii) The logistic growth was more accurate

Explanation:

<u>i) write and solve the differential equation for Gompertz growth</u>

Gompertz equation :

\frac{dP(t)}{dt} = \alpha In ( \frac{K}{P(t)} )P(t)

∝ = growth rate

k ( carrying capacity ) = 16 * 10^9

P(t) = population at time t

<u>ii) Determine what year the population reached 7 billion </u>

The year that population reaches 7 billion is 2013

solution attached below

<u>iii) Determine if logistic growth or Gompertz growth was more accurate  considering world population reached 7 billion on October 31,2011</u>

The logistic growth was more accurate because the when Logistic growth model was used, the year in which the population reached 7 billion was 2010 and this value is more closer to 7 billion on October 31 2011 ( given value )

Dance that provides honey bees information about both the direction and distance of food:
liq [111]

Answer: WAGGLE DANCE is the dance that provides honey bees information about both the direction and distance of food.

Explanation:

Honey bees are flying insects that helps in the pollination of plants as they collect nectar and pollen from plants for food. As the name implies, they are known for the production of honey.

The honey bee dance helps in social organization of the honey-bees which is established by the living of all individuals within the colony and they show the mutual cooperation among the members of the colony, and exhibit the overlapping genera­tions.

WAGGLE DANCE is the dance that provides honey bees information about both the direction and distance of food for the colony. It consists of two phases:

- the WAGGLE phase and

- return phase which occurs in a regular alteration pattern by foragers. It involves running through a small figure-eight pattern.
