Asap maria needs to find the number of individuals of the zebra species in africa. what does maria need to find? a- population structure b- population size c- population density d- population growth

The answer is: b. population size

Population size refers to the actual number of total organisms that live in a certain area.

In order to predict the population size in a large area, Ecologists usually divide the area into smaller size (such as dividing the area by 10,000) and manually count the population size in that small divided area. After knowing the manual count, the ecologist would multiply it with 10,000 to make an estimation on the population size.

as the gila monster consumes the eggs or young of the desert cottontail and gambel's quail, thus its main food supply is only accessible for a restricted time duration every year. however, for this, the gila monsters exhibit three adaptations, which elevate their survival rate in the desert condition.  

first, is that they possess huge bodies, and can consume greater concentrations of food during a small period. secondly, they require to feed infrequently as they can accumulate fat in their tails. ultimately, their rate of metabolism is very low, so that they can burn their reservoirs of fat gradually.  

the correct answer is - d. china has a large and growing population.

the fact that china has a large (the biggest) population, and it is still growing, doesn't hinder the agriculture production in the country. in fact, it can for increased production in the agriculture, since there's more labor force, as well the sheer mass of people produces lots of scientists that come up with new inventions as to how to improve this sector. nice example is the inner mongolia region in china, in general dominated by the gobi desert, but few scientist came up with a nice idea as to how to make the region productive by using plants that are very resistant to droughts, so lots of people have been employed, and the region is becoming greener and greener each year, and the production of food in this region is also increasing.
