Which type of organism would be most likely to have a type II survivorship curve?

Many fish species and other species that have many offspring at once exhibit type the III survivorship curve, because most die early in life. Few live to old age, but most that survive their youth will live a long life. The organisms that exhibit this type of survivorship curve are typically r strategists, so they provide little to no parental care for their offspring, which makes it harder for them to survive, especially in the unusually unstable environments in which they may live.

What would most likely happen to a unicellular organism if it was exposed to a hypotonic solution for an extended period of time?
The organism would swell and then burst.
How is a cast mold fossil of a clam different then the organism?
They are different because casts and molds are just an imprint (or a copy) of the organism's body. The soft parts of the organism would most likely decay, and the shell, bones, or just the outer hard parts would be fossilized.
Why would lichen grow first on a island formed by a volcanic eruption?
linchen would grow first because its a type of organism that is likely to appear in most volcani eruptions
Which condition makes fossil formation of an organism's remains more likely?
One condition that best increases the chance that an organism will become fossilized is if the burial happens rapidly. Another condition that can increase the chance of an organism becoming fossilized is if the organism has hard body parts.
What effect would this pathogenic micro-organism most likely have?
It would disrupt the ecosystem by greatly reducing the population of a few species.
Which survivor ship curve would represent frogs?
A type III survivorship curve is a good fit for frogs. The curve shows a high mortality rate early in life with a far lower mortality rate later in adult life. The curve is typical for species that have large numbers of offspring. Many species produce large numbers of eggs although some produce only one egg at a time. The morality rates are likely to vary depending on the number of eggs produced.
What type would a frog in a survivorship curve?
Type 3. Frogs are defenseless at a young age and often die, but survive later in life because of experience.
What would most likely happen to a unicellular organism if it was exposed to a hypotonic solution for an extended period of time?
The organism would swell and then burst.
Which habitat would a cold blooded organism be least likely to live?
the desert
What kind of scientist would most likely study living organism?
bio
A biologist would most likely study all of the chemical activites of an organism to obtain information about the organism's?
A biologist would most likely study all the chemical activities of an organism to obtain information about the organisms metabolism. The organism gets energy from food through metabolism because the body's cells convert food into the energy needed to do everything from moving to thinking to growing.
What is most likely going to occur if an organism was allergic to proteins?
Death would occur
Which organism would most likely be the pioneer organisms on a newly formed volcanic?
lichens
What would the survivorship curve for humans look like if there were a worldwide epidemic of a fatal disease that affected only children under five years of age?
The line would be flat/almost flat for kids under 5 years of age. Years later, the whole line would be flat/almost flat.
Which organisms would most likely be the pioneer organism on a newly formed volcanic island?
lichens
In what habitat would a cold blooded organism be least likely to live?
A terrestrial, arctic habitat.
Which organism would most likely be the main source of oxygen in a forest ecosystem?
oak trees
