The population rose sharply around 1800. What impact did this have on resource use? A More natural resources were used for fuel, food, and shelter for humans. B More natural resources were conserved and kept in their ecosystems. C There was no significant impact on resource use due to an increase in population.

A researcher wanted to know if introduced predators (lake trout, a fish) caused a decrease in the abundance of yellow-legged frogs. The ecologist measured the density of frogs (number frogs per meter of shoreline of a lake) in lakes that did not have any introduced predators (fish absent), lakes that had previously introduced predators (fish present), and lakes from which he removed the predators (fish removed), and then recorded if frog density increased, decreased, or stayed the same over one year. part a: What was the role in the experiment of the “fish present” lakes?
