Populations Change Over Time

Decent Essays
We humans, on the other hand, play such a huge role of diminishing animal populations. We constantly hunt and kill animals, mostly for unnecessary needs, and make their own environments unstable to live.

Final Answer: Populations change over time due to specific ways that nature, and/or other organisms affect them. Whether it’s from birth/death, natural/artificial selection, or being willed enough to survive. These all affect huge changes within a species

    (a) The Paramecium population in the lab (graph a) appears to have a logistical population growth. Visually, the data and trend line of the graph create an S-shaped curve, which is the shape of a logistical population growth. A logistical population growth is a population growth that initially occurs at a constant rate of increase over time, but then levels out as the carrying capacity of the environment is approached. For 10 days the population increases at a steady rate. However, after day 10 the rate of population growth relatively decreases to zero at a carrying capacity of approximately 900 Paramecium/mL. A carrying capacity is the largest population a particular habitat can support and sustain for an indefinite period, assuming there are no changes in…

In stage two, early expanding there is a rapid drop in the death rate, this transition could occur because of improvements in sanitation, better health care and food and water supply. All of these factors could play a huge role in this factor if people are getting proper health care and eating and drinking properly it is vital to a long healthy life. In stage three, late expanding occurs when the birth rate begins to decline as long with the death rate which has a slow growth rate overall. In fourth and final…

    Human movement has likewise accelerated environmental change. In the event that environmental change proceeds at its present level, 25 percent of all species could be in danger by 2050. The pulverization of environments is the primary reason species are getting to be terminated. For instance, sewage and chemicals can change waterways and streams that creatures rely upon. Tropical rainforests, home to 50 percent of all creature and plant species, once possessed 6 million square miles around the world.…

    11. Population density varies across the world because places could have small populations but less land or large populations but more land, which means the place with smaller population would have a larger population density. It depends on the number of people per square mile. 12. Some effects of population growth are increases in famine, disease, and natural resource depletion, population, technology, and creativity.…

    The three things that affect the size and age of a population are the number of births, the number of deaths, and the number of individuals that enter or leave the population. Adult income needs change over time because as we age our income needs increases. Some may argue that as we get older our income needs will decrease because we are not doing activities as much such as going out to eat. High medical cost, debt, and unable to Maintain a job is all factors that increases a person's needs.…

    According I could understand, the demographic transition involves a country moves from a pre-industrial economic base to an industrial urban base, with a corresponding reduction in family size and population growth. Thus it can be said that the slower population growth is due to a better standard of living, and improvements in health care, education (especially for women), health and other public services. Stage 1: The birth and death rates are high, and the population has a slow or no growth. Stage 2: Birth rates remain high, but mortality rates drop sharply as a result of improvements in nutrition, medicine, public health and sanitation. The population began to grow rapidly.…

    And this is a very grim outlook, as only in the last 500 years we have caused 322 animal extinctions, with two-thirds of those occurring in the last two centuries. This is a staggering figure, since, on average only 2 out of every 10,000 mammal species go extinct every century. Combining this with the knowledge that 35 of 5,513 known mammal species have gone extinct since 1900, we can calculate that mammal species have gone extinct at the rate of 28 faster than it should have. If one factors in the numbers of animals extinct in nature, vertebrates (such as birds, reptiles, amphibians and fish), one finds that the extinction rate of the 20th century is 53 times higher than the baseline extinction rate. But the numbers I have given is only in a smaller scale that allows people better to understand the dire situation we are, in fact some scientists estimate that we are losing species at 1,000 to 10,000 times the average rate (The Center for Biological Diversity: THE EXTINCTION CRISIS).…

    Population dynamics Without people and species that are present on planet Earth, it is safe to say that cities would not be existent. Therefore is of utter importance that one studies the growth of the human population and its nature. With that being said, the studies and recognition of the various population dynamics should be encompassed in the process of planning of sustainable of cities. This short essay shall discuss the concept of population dynamics and other fragments which are part of it, as well discussing the importance of exploring the population dynamics of a city during the process of the sustainable planning of cities.…
