Which population of organisms would be in greatest danger of becoming extinct?

A population of organisms having few variations living in an unstable environment.


If a population of fish in a lake is allowed to reproduce without anything to control this the fish population will stop growing What basic need are the fish competing for?

The fish will be competing for food, as a large number of fish need a large amount of food to keep them alive. As the population grows, the amount of food in excess will shrink, until there is only enough food for the fish already alive. When this happens, the weaker fish will die, as the stronger fish will outcompete them for the food.


How can damage to an ecosytem harm animals that live there?

If something is removed or damaged, that part of their life is removed. Damage to water, food, or shelter sources, cause an animal to go without, which can cause death or a population decline.


Why do roaches lay on their back?

First, few cockroaches die on their backs in the wild. Natural death of cockroaches probably occurs in the stomach of a bird, bat or other small animal. Second, Cockroaches are not used to living on a polished marble or vinyl floor. They are more used to a ruguous living plane including leaves and sticks and other vegetable debris. Thus when a cockroach finds itself on its back (by some mistake in its orienteering) it may have trouble righting itself if there is not debris around to grab hold of with its legs. (Try it, put a cockroach on its back on a polished floor with and without some crinkled paper.) Third, often we come across dead cockroaches in buildings that have died of insecticide. Most of these insecticides are organophosphate nerve poisons. The nerve poison often inhibits cholinesterase, an enzyme that breaks down acetyl choline (ACh), a neurotransmitter. With extra ACh in the nervous system, the cockroach has muscular spasms which often result in the cockroach flipping on its back. Without muscular coordination the cockroach cannot right itself and eventually dies in its upside down-position.


Why is there a constant struggle for survival among organisms within a population?
