A > B В Based on your knowledge of energy flow through a system and the questions you just answered, what might you conclude about the relative abundances (population sizes) of the Triceratops and Tyrannosaurus? Both the Triceratops & Tyrannosaurus will be equally-abundant (equal populations) in the ecosystem. Neither the Triceratops & Tyrannosaurus will be heavily-abundant (smaller populations) in the ecosystem because they are large animals. The Triceratops will have a higher abundance (larger population) than the Tyrannosaurus because there is more energy available for it from plants. None of these options correctly addresses the question accurately. O The Tyrannosaurus will have a higher abundance (larger population) than the Triceratops because there is more energy available for it form its primary prey.

The diversity of modern vertebrates was shaped in partby mass extinctions. The most severe extinction eventwe know of occured at the border between the Permianand Triassic periods about 250 million years ago. Anestimated 96 percent of the marine species and 70 percentof land species disappeared in what is sometimes called“The Great Dying.” The cause of this mass extinctionremains under investigation. Suggested causes includean asteroid impact, extreme volcanic activity, or a sudden release of carbon dioxide from deposits on the sea floor. Which groups of vertebrates were present when this mass extinction event occurred? Which evolvedafterward?
