Need help with questions 1,2 and 3 please: 1.) Which of the following statements about environmental resistance is not correct? A.) It is the effect of various factors that influence the growth of a population in an area B.) It includes biotic (density dependent) and abiotic (density independent) factors C.) It allows a population to grow at its biotic potential: D.) It determines the carrying capacity of the habitat concerned . 2.) Identify the statement about per capita growth rate that is not correct. A.) It does not depend on the period for which the population is under consideration. B.) It is used to compare populations of the same species but of different sizes. C.) It is independent of the initial size of population under study. D.) The change in population size can be expressed as the rate of change per individual in terms capita growth rate. 3.)

Suppose that blue sheep are the most important prey of snow leopard, and that the predator‒prey interaction follows Lotka‒Volterra dynamics. The mortality rate of snow leopard in the absence of blue sheep is 0.1 per week, and the intrinsic growth rate of blue sheep in the absence of snow leopard predation is 0.2 per week. Snow leopard capture efficiency is 0.002, and the efficiency at which blue sheep biomass is converted into snow leopard biomass is 0.2. If there are initially 30 snow leopards and 400 blue sheep, the overall rate of change in the blue sheep population will be a gain of ____ per week.
Old People e = 100 calories λ = 10 per night h = 2 hours Middle Aged People e = 400 calories λ = 20 per night h = 5 hours Young Adults e = 300 calories λ = 10 per night h = 2.5 hours Suppose that the organism need 1000 calories per night. - Which food item should the organism prefer, and which ones would you expect them to eat on a regular basis? Explain why and show calculations. - Explain marginal value theorem, and how it might relate to an organisms foraging decisions. - λ for Old People should increase in the coming years. How could that affect this organisms feeding on humans?
