What are the units of measurements in temperature?
Temperature is almost always stated in 'degrees', but there are several different systems. The differences are: -- the size of the degrees -- where their zero-point is, i.e. where they begin counting. Here are a few examples: Celsius: Zero point is the freezing temperature of water. Boiling point of water is called '100 degrees'. So the size of the degree is 1/100 of the difference. Fahrenheit: Freezing point of water is called '32 degrees'. Boiling point of water is called '212 degrees'. So the size of the degree is 1/180 of the difference. Kelvin: Zero point is 'absolute zero' ... the temperature where the 'thermal' motion of all molecules completely stops. Size of one "Kelvin" is the same as one Celsius degree. Freezing temperature of water is 273.15 Kelvins. Rankine (hardly ever used): Zero point is 'absolute zero'. Size of the degree is the same as Fahrenheit. Freezing point of water is 459.67 degrees Rankine. Reaumur (never used any more): Freezing point of water is called 'zero degrees'. Boiling point of water is called '80 degrees'. So the size of the degree is 1/80 of the difference.
What is one biotic factor that affects the size of a population in an ecosystem?
There are quite a few biotic factors that affect the size of a population in an ecosystem. Grass is one of these factors.
What is the name for the maximum population size an environment can support?
carrying capacity, or K.
What is it called when sediments are layered and sorted by size?
It is called graded bedding.
What happens to population size between the time it overshoots carrying capacity to when it recovers and stabilizes?
wal-mart
What happens to a population when the size of the population reaches carrying capacity?
starvation increases to the point where this population is maintained.
What is the number of individuals in a population called?
The number of individuals in the population is the population's size. If a population is small enough you will be able to determine the size by counting the individuals.
What is a location in space that has no size or shape called?
A(n) point is described as a location in space , and it has no size or shape.
What is the survey used to determine population size called?
A census.
Is described as a location in space and it has no size or shape is called what?
It is a point.
What is the maximum size that a population can reach in an ecosystem is called?
Carrying capacity
Characteristics of a population regarding its size growth or density is called?
demographics
What will happen to each higher population size if the first level population were to dramatically increase?
The higher population size would also decrease. If the first level population decreased, the higher levels would have less to eat. This would cause the weaker organisms in the higher population group to die.
Does the population size increase or decrease at higher trophic levels in the pyramid of numbers of an ecosystem consisting of a tree insects (that are herbivores) and birds feeding on the insects?
Population sizes decrease at higher trophic levels. If they increased the insects population would decrease meaning there would be less food available for the birds so their population size would then decrease. Look at the relationships between predator and prey species for more information
Does the population size increase or decrease at higher trophic levels in the pyramid of numbers of an ecosystem consisting of any herbivores and birds feeding on the insects?
Population sizes decrease at higher trophic levels. If they increased the insects population would decrease meaning there would be less food available for the birds so their population size would then decrease. Look at the relationships between predator and prey species for more information
In statistics what is the group of individuals used to represent the population called?
The group of individuals used to represent a population is called the sample. It should have the same statistics as the population, though be of a smaller size.
A resource so scarce that it limits the size of a population is called a?
a limiting factor
