The birth rate in Singapore is very low compared to that in Malaysia. Does this statement reflect a population characteristic?
Yes
The yeast air-balloon activity will show an exponential growth curve.
No
Approximately 230,000 people died in the 2004 Sumatra-Andaman earthquake and tsunami, making it one of the deadliest disasters in modern history. This catastrophic event was the result of a density-dependent limiting factor.
No
Was the decrease in Ireland’s carrying capacity due to the potato blight between 1845 and 1849?
Yes
If the Giant Catfish population in Kenyir Lake exceeds the carrying capacity, then we would expect the population to grow essentially exponentially.
No
Many frogs have a survival pattern where lots of tadpoles die early because they are often eaten, but once they grow up, the chance of dying is much lower. This is type II survivorship curve.
No
frogs are type III
In 2021, approximately 1.44 million people died in Japan, marking an increase in death toll by 180 thousand compared to 2012. This indicates a rise in the death rate over the past decade. Does the death rate affect the population growth rate?
Yes
Stable population pyramids display a distinctive triangular structure, signifying a predominantly youthful and expanding population. This is evident through a higher percentage of younger age groups in the demographic distribution. Is this statement correct?
No
No, the statement is not correct. A stable population pyramid typically displays a more balanced and rectangular structure, not a triangular one. The triangular structure is associated with an expanding or growing population, while a stable pyramid has roughly equal percentages of population across different age groups.
Frogs are r-selected animal species that produce a large number of offspring at a time.
Yes
r-selected: type III
