Respuesta :
Research: Prey Initial Size: The number of prey at the start. (Assume the seals have an endless supply of food.)
Prey Growth Rate: The prey's birth rate. The faster the prey population grows, the higher the growth rate.
Predator Initial Size: The number of predators at the start of the game. Predator Death Rate: The predator death rate. Predators will die out faster if their death rate is higher.
Capture Efficiency: This figure shows the predator's ability to catch the prey over a period of time. This parameter has a higher value when the predators have a better likelihood of catching prey.
Hypotheses: Prediction 1: If the prey population is bigger than the predator population, the resulting population of seals will be higher than the whale population.
Procedures: The procedures are listed in Population Dynamics Virtual Lab Activity. You do not need to include them here.
Analysis and Conclusion:
In the conclusion of your lab report, be sure to answer the following reflection questions:
1. According to Table 1, which of the three trials resulted in the greatest number of whales and seals?
Why do you believe this trial resulted in the greatest possible outcome for whale and seal populations? Because the whale population was far higher than the seal population, route 3 has the largest carrying capacity for both whales and seals in the charts above.
2. Explain how the birth rates of seals and the death rates of whales affected the population of both whales and seals using Tables 2 and 3.
Whales are seal predators, so if the whale population declines, the seal population will increase. This indicates that the seals' carrying capacity will be greater than the whales'.
