Chapter 27, Problem 1MC
Summary Introduction

Introduction:

Growth curve represents the population growth with each period of time. Growth curve can be demonstrated by two types of growth curve: J shaped growth curves and sigmoid growth curve. The J shaped growth curves represent the unrestricted or exponential population growth while sigmoid growth curve represents the slow or restricted growth of population.

Answer to Problem 1MC

Correct answer:

Density-independent environmental resistance includes floods. Therefore, option (b) is correct.

Option (b) is given as “floods”.

Explanation of Solution

Justify reason for the correct statement:

Density-independent factors are those factors that affect population size irrespective of population density. Density-independent factors include weather, earthquake, floods, and climatic condition.

Hence, option (b) is correct.

Justify reasons for the incorrect statements:

Option (a) is given as “predation”.

Predation is density dependent environmental resistance. Hence, it is a wrong answer.

Option (c) is given as “differentiated cell”.

Parasitism is density dependent environmental resistance. Hence, it is a wrong answer.

Option (d) is given as “competition”.

Competition is density dependent environmental resistance. Hence, it is a wrong answer.

Hence, options (a), (c), and (d) are incorrect.

Conclusion

The factor floods are density independent environmental resistance.

Which of the following rows correctly describes the difference between predation and parasitism? Select one: a. Predation Parasitism The host species is killed to benefit the other species. The host species is not killed, but its life is barely sustained to benefit the other species. b. Predation Parasitism The host species is unharmed, and its life is sustained to benefit the other species. The host species killed or barely left alive to benefit the other species. c. Predation Parasitism The host species is not killed, but its life is barely sustained to benefit the other species. The host species is not killed, but its life is barely sustained to benefit the other species. d. Predation Parasitism The host species killed or barely left alive to benefit the other species. The host species is unharmed, and its life is sustained to benefit the other species.
