Births and Deaths
What happens to a population when organisms are born and die?
The population size fluctuates; it can increase, decrease, or remain stable depending on the rates of births and deaths.
What are energy storage molecules?
a molecule that organisms can use to release the energy needed to survive
How does the size of a resource population affect energy availability?
A larger resource population offers more energy storage molecules for consumers.
What things are represented in food webs?
flow of energy and nutrients in an ecosystem.
What is Ms. Ulloa's favorite Pokemon?
Mimikyu
What does it mean if the number of births and deaths are equal?
The population size will be stable.
What role do energy storage molecules play in reproduction?
They provide the energy needed for organisms to reproduce successfully
What happens when a consumer population grows larger?
It needs more energy storage molecules to sustain itself.
Give an example of a food web.

Idaho
What is the outcome if there are more births than deaths?
The size of the population will increase.
How does energy availability affect reproduction rates?
More energy storage molecules lead to higher reproduction rates.
How does an increase in consumer population affect resource populations?
It can lead to more consumption and potentially decrease the resource population.
Give an example of an organism that is both part of the RESOURCE population AND the CONSUMER population

Brookhaven RP
What does a decrease in the population size indicate?
There are more deaths than births.
What do consumer populations eat to obtain energy?
They eat organisms in resource populations.
Why is it important for consumers to have enough energy storage molecules?
To support their survival and reproduction.
What happens if the consumer population is removed from a food web?
It can lead to an increase in prey populations and disrupt the balance of the ecosystem.
What is Tyler the Creator's most streamed song?
EARFQUAKE
How can birth and death rates affect a population's stability?
If births and deaths are equal, the population is stable; if not, the population size will change.
How does the energy from resource populations impact consumer populations?
More energy availability allows consumer populations to grow and reproduce more.
What can happen to resource populations if consumers eat too much?
The resource population can decline, potentially leading to scarcity.
How can changes in the environment affect a food web? Give an example!
