A scientist studied a population of birds for 10 years. During that time, the population was never fewer than 30 birds and never

more than 50. Her data showed that over half of the birds born did not survive to reproduce, because of competition for food and predation. She noticed that In a single generation, about 90% of the birds that were born lived to reproduce, and the population increased to 90. Which inference(s) about this population might be true

Answer:

A particular population limiting factor or factors must have been removed

Explanation:

The population of the birds must have been kept between 30 and 50 individuals by population limiting factors such as the presence of predators within the community or competition for resources such as food or spaces.

For the population to shoot up to 90 all of a sudden, it may be that one or more of the population limiting factors has been removed from the population. <u>It could be that a major predator has been removed from the community or the competition for food/space is now significantly reduced due to more food/space in the community. </u>

If the calvin cycle slows down, what will happen to the rate of o2 production in ps ii, and why?
Schach [20]
If the Calvin cycle slows down, THE RATE OF OXYGEN PRODUCTION IN PS II WILL BE REDUCED. 
This is because, the light reaction depends on the dark reaction to occur. If the Calvin cycle slows down, the light cycle will have less ADP and NADP+ to work with and this will slow down the production rate of the photosynthetic reaction.
