Data Analysis

The graph below shows changes in the size of an emperor penguin population in terms of numbers of breeding pairs on the island of Terre Adelie in the Antarctic. Use the graph to answer the questions below.

2

a. Assuming that the penguin population fluctuates around the carrying capacity, what was the approximate carrying capacity of the island for the penguin population from 1960 to 1975?
b. What was the approximate carrying capacity of the island for the penguin population from 1980 to 2010?

1

What was the percentage decline in the penguin population from 1975 to 2010?

Review the graph below of an otter population off the coast of California.

1

What generalized trend can be made from 1983 to 2007 from this graph?

The otter is declining more than growing.

The otter is growing at an exponential rate.

The otter has reached its carrying capacity.

The otter is showing a slow rate of population increase.

The otter is an endangered species.

1

What is the percent change in the otter population from 1995 to 2000?

1

Which of the following has NOT contributed to the explosion of the white-tailed deer population?

Elimination of many of their natural predators

Hunting laws restricting their hunting

Suburbanization eliminating many forests and creating many edge habitats

Trapping of deer and moving them out of areas where they are not wanted

Many people planting their properties with edible flowers and shrubs

1

Which point on the curve above reflects the selection
most like that of an elephant, a K-selected species that
has reached its carrying capacity?

1

Which of the below is an example of density-dependent
population control?

Humans clearing a forested area

A forest fire burning a woodland tract

Red-tailed hawks feeding on rabbits

An avalanche clearing a hillside of all trees and

shrubs

Pollution from a city killing invertebrates in a local

stream

The chart below shows selected population data for two different countries, A and B. Study the chart and answer the questions that follow.

4

Calculate the rates of natural increase (due to births and deaths, not counting immigration) for the populations of country A and country B. Based on these calculations and the data in the table, for each of the countries, suggest whether it is a more-developed country or a less-developed country and explain the reasons for your answers.

1

Describe where each of the two countries may be in the stages of demographic transition. Discuss factors that could hinder either country from progressing to later stages in the demographic transition.

1

Explain how the percentages of people under 15 years of age in each country could affect its per capita and total ecological footprints.

1

A medium population growth projection calls for a population of 9.3 billion people in 2050 up from the current population of 6.7 billion. What percent increase is this?

1

In 1798, Thomas Malthus hypothesized the collapse of the human population. What factor proved Malthus wrong and led to the continued increases in the human population?

Use of fossil fuels

Increased genetic resistance of pest species

Reliance on renewable resources

Food production increased at an exponential rate

Modern health care doubling the birth rate worldwide

1

The infant mortality rate is NOT

used to calculate the population growth rate.

lower in the United States than in any other country.

in developing countries most commonly a result of diarrheal diseases caused by polluted water.

higher in countries where women are empowered by education and equality.

an indication of the availability of nutritious food and health in a country.

1

Why is replacement-level fertility slightly higher than two children per couple?

Some people do not marry.

Some children die before reaching reproductive years.

Use of contraceptives is increasing in developed countries.

Death rates are high in developing countries.

Death rates exceed birth rates in stable countries.

1

Taiwan, Cuba, and most of Europe have lower infant mortality rates than the U.S., in part because of

drug addiction among pregnant women.

high death rate among teenagers.

increased education among teenage women.

more teenage pregnancies.

increased use of contraception and fewer births.

1

One of the most important factors in helping to stabilize a developing country's population and reducing environmental degradation is to

decrease the rate at which people may emigrate.

reduce the infant mortality rate by making available more medicine for both infants and pregnant women.

empower and educate women.

teach people the importance of recycling materials used in their everyday lives.

ensure that people have enough food to eat by establishing local plots of land for rent, thereby enabling local communities to grow their own food.

1

Which of the below is an example of a positive use of nature's natural capital?

Elimination of many natural predators of humans

Increasing use of the earth's net primary productivity to feed humans

Increased reliance on renewable energy resources

Introduction of species into new communities to control pests

Modification of the earth's geochemical cycles for energy uses

1

Which of the below is the correct order of demographic transition states that a country experiences when industrializing?

Iron age ➔ agrarian ➔ preindustrial ➔ industrial

Nomadic➔ preindustrial➔ industrial➔ postindustrial

Nomadic➔ agrarian➔ preindustrial➔ industrial

Preindustrial ➔ transitional ➔ industrial ➔ postindustrial

Agrarian➔ preindustrial➔ transitional➔ industrial

1

Which of the below has been utilized in both India and China to attempt to reduce population growth rates?

Limiting immigration

Increasing emigration

Attempting to prevent the transition to an industrial state

Importing new technologies into the country

Family planning and education
