Water wisteria is an aquatic plant that is easy to care for and reproduces very quickly. A small man-made pond of 350 L contains 100 water wisteria plants. 20 new plants are introduced daily to the pond, while 75 plants are taken out once a week to be sold at local pet shops. a. What is the overall population change in a two-week period? Express your answer rounded to the nearest whole number.

1. A population of black-capped chickadees grows continuously with a constant per capita growth rate. It took 2 years to grow from 400 individuals to the current population of 3000 individuals. How long will it take to grow from 3000 to 12,000? Write your answer in the box below. No credit will be given for your answers unless you show your work. Place your final answer in the box below. time to grow from 3000 to 12,000 =
Analyze the graphs below. Which growth model (exponential or logis- tic) would apply to a population of squirrels arriving on a new island? Assume the squirrels have no way to leave. Answer the following questions: 1. Which growth model (exponential or logistic) fits the squirrel scenario? 2. Why did you choose this growth model? (think about the difference between the 2 types) Exponential Growth Logistic Growth Carrying capacity Time Time
A mess of 40 iguanas moved to a new island which is so large that the carrying capacity is essentially non-existent. The growth rate for these island iguanas was 0.6 and they have a generation time of 2 years. How many iguanas do you expect to find on the island after 6 years? (Show your work. Round your final answer to the nearest whole iguana and clearly indicate your final answer).
The moose population in Northern Alberta is estimated to be around 11, 800. During the year, there were 5330 births, 4809 deaths, 12 immigrations and 45 emigrations. Calculate the per capita growth rate. Express your answer as a value between 0 and 1 rounded to two decimal places. If the population is decreasing indicate this with a negative sign.

Zebra mussels are an aquatic invasive species that are threatening the diversity and abundance of native species in the lake ecosystems of Alberta. Sylvan Lake is a beautiful recreational lake located in central Alberta. It has a total area of 43 km2. If the population of zebra mussels is estimated to be 128 mussels/200 km2, calculate the size of the zebra mussel population in Sylvan Lake. Express your answer as a value rounded to one decimal place. Answer
In 1975, the population of Peary caribou among the Arctic islands was around 28 000. In 1976, there were 1600 deaths and 900 births, and no immigration or emigration. Calculate the population change as a percentage. Show your work.
The curve below shows the growth rate of a population that has a per capita growth rate of 0.4. Which of the following is true about this curve. More than one is possible. exponential growth 2500000 2000000 1500000 1000000 500000 0 5 10 15 20 25 Select one or more: Ua. r becomes greater as the population grows because there are more births per year. b. There are more births per generation as you move right on the graph c. exponential growth is most often observed in stable populations that have resided in an environment for a long time. Od. The slope of the curve changes continuously as you move to the right even though r remains the same.
Imagine a population of daisies that is growing exponentially. At the start of 1995, the population was 104 individuals. At the start of 2004, there were 1350 individuals. Assuming r remained constant, calculate r.
