Lesson 1.2
What are some factors that contribute to the population growth of Moon Jellies?
What are water temperature, availability of food, and reduced predation?
What term better describes births in a population?
What is birth rate?
What is the primary reason for the increase in the moon jelly population in Glacier Sea?
What are the increase in food availability, such as plankton, due to environmental changes?
What do populations depend on for survival?
What are Recources?
How much of Earth's surface is covered by water?
How do human activities affect the Moon Jelly population?
How do Pollution and overfishing alter marine ecosystems, affecting jelly populations?
What term describes the number of deaths in a population?
What is the Death Rate?
Describe the typical birth rate of moon jellies in their ideal habitat?
What are moon jellies have high birth rates, often producing thousands of eggs during the spawning season.
What affects population dynamics by limiting access to essential resources?
What is competition?
What type of pesticide is harmful to bees?
what is neonicotinoid?
What phenomena have Moon Jellies shown in recent years?
What is an increase in population?
What concept affects the maximum population size an environment can support?
What is Carrying Capacity?
Identify two factors that can contribute to the death rate of jellyfish populations.
What are predation by species such as sea turtles and environmental factors like pollution and temperature changes?
What is crucial for maintaining a healthy ecosystem?
What is Sustainability?
What are the four types of ecosystems?
What are the hydrosphere, geosphere, biosphere, and atmosphere?
What environmental change can affect Moon Jelly populations?
What is changes in water temprature?
What are the interactions between birth and death rates called?
What are population dynamics?
How do changes in ecosystem resources affect the moon jelly population's reproductive success?
What is when resources like food are abundant, moon jelly reproduction increases, leading to population growth; limited resources can lead to lower reproductive rates.
What influences population dynamics and ecosystem health?
What are resources and dependence?
What are examples of Autotrophs?
How has the marine ecosystem changed due to the increase in the Moon Jelly population?
What are shifts in species dynamics and competition?
What is the impact of the balance between birth rates and death rates?
What is population stability?
Explain how mortality rates in the jellyfish population can impact their overall population growth?
What is high mortality rates can counteract high birth rates, stabilizing or decreasing the population, while low mortality rates can allow population numbers to flourish despite variations in birth rates.
What is essential for ensuring long-term ecosystem stability?
What is maintaining a balance in the ecosystem?
What is the chemical formula for neonicotinoid?
What is C9 H10 Cl N5 O2?
