Use the information and table to answer the following question. An ecologist is studying a population of mosquitos living in a nearby pond. The ecologist estimates the population size twice a day - once at sunrise and once at sunset - for 5 days during the summer when mosquitos are reproducing. Their data is shown. Based on the data, what is the estimated carrying capacity for the population and what factor may have led to a change in data at day three? a. The estimated carrying capacity is approximately 167 thousand. The population may have decreased during day three because of decreased pressure from a limiting factor such as reduction of predators eating the mosquitos. b. The estimated carrying capacity is approximately 188 thousand. The population may have decreased during day three because of decreased pressure from limiting factors, such as more food being available.c. The estimated carrying capacity is approximately 188 thousand. The population may have decreased during day…

Biology Question! Water wisteria is an aquatic plant that is easy to care for and reproduces very quickly. A small man-made pond of 350 L contains 78 water wisteria plants. 15 new plants are introduced daily to the pond, while 50 plants are taken out once a week to be sold at local pet shops. What is the overall population change in a two-week period? Express your answer rounded to the nearest whole number. What is the population density of water wisteria at the beginning? Express your answer as a value between 0 and 1 rounded to two decimal places.
