A population of tigers lives in Bangladesh. Over 30 years, the size of the tiger population increased. What best explains the increase in size of the tiger population?

• A lot of tigers were born and none of them died

• The tiger population is always increasing because no animal eats tigers

• Fewer tigers were born than died

• More tigers were born than died

There are 3 populations in a grassland ecosystem: lizards eating fireflies, and fireflies eating gnats (insects). Suddenly, the lizard population decreased. What will probably happen to the size of the population of fireflies?

• Increase due to fewer energy storage molecules needed by the lizards so they will eat fewer fireflies. Thus, leading to fewer deaths deaths than births in the firefly population

• Increase due to the lizard population leaving more energy storage molecules available for the firefly population to reproduce more. Thus, leading to more births in the firefly population

• Stay the same due to the size of the resource population not changing, so the amount of energy storage molecules available for the fireflies did not change. Thus, the number of births and deaths in the firefly population will be the same

• Decrease due to a decrease in any population causes a decrease in the sizes of all other populations in the ecosystem
