Between 2005 and 2020, the population of harbor seals was growing exponentially. In the year 2005, harbor seals had a population

size of 5500. By 2020, the population size of harbor seals was 7000. The carrying capacity for this population is 7500 and the population has a maximum per capita growth rate of 0.25.
Using the logistic growth rate equation, how and why did the population growth rate change from 2005 to 2020?

A) In 2005, the population growth rate was approximately 367, while in 2020, the population growth rate had decreased to approximately 117. A decrease in the growth rate occurs as a population approaches its carrying capacity and resources become more limited.

B) In 2005, the population growth rate was approximately 367, while in 2020, the population growth rate had decreased to approximately 117. A decrease in the growth rate occurs as the population aims to slowly surpass its carrying capacity to ensure individuals have enough resources.

C) In 2005, the population growth rate was 1375, while in 2020, the population growth rate had increased to 1750. An increase in the growth rate occurs as the population has more competition for resources and is forced to produce more offspring to counteract.

D) In 2005, the population growth rate was 1375, while in 2020, the population growth rate had increased to 1750. An increase in the growth rate occurs as the population wants to use all of its available resources and reach its carrying capacity as quickly as possible.

What has been the biggest cause of biodiversity loss? *
saw5 [17]
Habitat destruction is the key one out of all of these. Animals being kept at the zoo for research are usually endangered or vulnerable species which is doing more good than harm to them. Legal hunting of animals is most likely for rabbits, deer, and a stabilized population in the wild. Habitat destruction can destroy many populations and cause loads of damage. An example of that would be the Australian wildfires at the start of 2020.

The first statement describes the environmental factor that affected the skipper butterflies.

When the birds became involved in the skipper butterflies ecosystem, they became a biotic environmental factor. The other answer choices are not environmental factors, but they are adaptations and examples of survival of the fittest.

Hope this helps! Good luck! :)
