Question 1

population defintion

Answer 1

Group of the same kind of organisms in an area

Question 2

competition defintion

Answer 2

When two organisms want a resource that is a limited amount of

Question 3

ecosystem defintion

Answer 3

Groups of living things interacting with one another and their physical environment

Question 4

biotic definition

Answer 4

Any Living thing or once living

Question 5

abiotic defintion

Answer 5

Non-living

Question 6

flucuate defintion

Answer 6

Small increases and decreases over time

Question 7

stable/healthy population

Answer 7

A population that stays around the same number

Question 8

trend defintion

Answer 8

A pattern

Question 9

How can we identify things in an ecosystem as either biotic or abiotic?

Answer 9

Biotic is living or once living, abiotic is non-living.

Question 10

What would happen if orangutans (or other organisms) do not get enough food (or resources) from the available resources?

Answer 10

They will die because they won’t have enough energy for stored fat, growth, and energy.

Question 11

What is the relationship between resource availability and survival if there are not enough resources?

Answer 11

not enough resources = more competition, some orangutans may not get the energy/food they need to survive.

Question 12

What is the relationship between resource availability and survival if there are enough resources?

Answer 12

enough resources = less competition, most orangutans get enough resources to survive.

Question 13

What is the relationship between the amount of resources available and the population size if there are more resources available?

Answer 13

more resources available = increase in the population size for orangutans, at some point, the increase levels off/plateaus.

Question 14

What is the relationship between the amount of resources available and the population size if there are more resources available?

Answer 14

more resources available = increase in the population size for orangutans, at some point, the increase levels off/plateaus.

Question 15

What is the relationship between the amount of resources available and the population size if there are not enough resources available?

Answer 15

decrease in resources available, = decrease in the population size of orangutans.

Question 16

what does it mean when a trend is going downward overtime?

Answer 16

A trend downward over time is not a typical fluctuation, and means the population is not stable. A trend over time means the population is increasing above its typical size.

Question 17

What is the relationship between the amount of resources and competition when there is more resources

Answer 17

When there are more resources, there is less competition for the orangutans.

Question 18

What is the relationship between the amount of resources and competition when there is less resources

Answer 18

When there are less resources, there is more competition for the orangutans.

Question 19

What does the term ”healthy” population/stable population mean?

Answer 19

A healthy and stable population is a population that stays around the same number.

Question 20

is it unusal for population sizes to flucate?

Answer 20

not unusual for population sizes to fluctuate, a healthy population fluctuates.

Question 21

what pattern is there when there is an increase in population numbers

Answer 21

population numbers increase= competition increased = some orangutans to get less food and die.

Question 22

what pattern is there when there is a decrease in population numbers

Answer 22

population numbers decrease= competition decreased= some orangutans to get more food and possibly reproduce.

Question 23

What is the relationship between the size of the population of orangutans (or other organisms) and chances of survival?

Answer 23

When there are more orangutans, there is more competition, which leads to some not getting fruit/energy and possibly dying.
With fewer orangutans, there is less competition, which leads to getting enough fruit/energy and more surviving.

Question 24

What are the effects of minor (small) and major (large) disruptions on a population?

Answer 24

Minor disruptions in resource availability may lead to small fluctuation in population size.
Major disruptions in resource availability may cause the orangutan population to increase or decrease drastically in numbers.
