The bacteria population is exhibiting logistic growth.

The size of the flask is the limiting factor that will determine carrying capacity.

The carrying capacity for this population is about 1,000.

Required

1

Rainfall raised temperatures above survivable levels for mosquitoes.

Flooding increased predation and disrupted ideal breeding habitats.

Excess water diluted the mosquito larvae and made reproduction impossible.

As the number of leaves removed increases, the transpiration rate decreases

As the number of leaves removed increases, the transpiration rate increases

Transpiration rate increases when there are more leaves removed

Required

The organism must have an arrow pointing to it from a producer and another arrow  pointing to it from a primary consumer.

The organism must have an arrow pointing from it to a primary consumer and another  arrow pointing away from it to a decomposer

1

Dissolved carbon dioxide gas in the ocean would increase because surface winds would cause a deeper circulation pattern, making more room for the gas.

Less carbon dioxide gas would be contained in the ocean because increasing precipitation would dilute the carbon entering the ocean.

Less atmospheric carbon dioxide would be available to phytoplankton.

Required

Relationship 3 is an example of predation.

Relationships 1 and 4 are examples of mutualism.
Relationship 2 is an example of commensalism.
Relationship 3 is an example of parasitism.

Relationships 1 and 2 are examples of commensalism.
Relationships 3 and 4 are examples of mutualism.

Required

Cellular respiration uses oxygen and releases carbon dioxide, while photosynthesis uses carbon dioxide and releases oxygen.

Photosynthesis and cellular respiration both use carbon dioxide and release oxygen.

Photosynthesis and cellular respiration both use oxygen and release carbon dioxide.

Required

1

More sugars and starches would be available for animals in the area.

Less carbon dioxide would be removed from the atmosphere in the area by plants.
