15.

Scientists have been studying the size of three populations in a grassland. In this ecosystem, lizards eat fireflies, and fireflies eat gnats (a type of insect). The data showed that all three populations were stable. Then the lizard population decreased suddenly. What will most likely happen to the size of the firefly population as a result?

a)

increase. The smaller lizard population will need fewer energy storage molecules so they will eat fewer fireflies. This will lead to fewer deaths than births in the firefly population.

b)

increase. The smaller lizard population will leave more energy storage molecules available for the firefly population to reproduce more. This will lead to more births in the firefly population.

c)

stay the same. The size of its resource population did not change, so the amount of energy storage molecules available for the fireflies did not change. There will be the same number of births and deaths in the firefly population.

d)

decrease. A decrease in any population causes a decrease in the sizes of all other populations in the ecosystem.

16.

In Australia, both opossums and foxes eat rats. The sizes of the populations have been stable for the last 12 years, but recently the size of the opossum population increased. What will likely happen to the fox population?

a)

increase. An increase in the size of any population leads to an increase in the sizes of all other populations in an ecosystem.

b)

stay the same. Opossums and foxes do not eat each other, so the number of births and deaths in the fox population will stay the same.

c)

decrease. The larger opossum population will leave fewer energy storage molecules for all other populations in the ecosystem, so the fox population will reproduce less. This will lead to fewer births than deaths in the fox population.

d)

decrease. Fewer energy storage molecules will be available to the fox population from the smaller rat population, so the fox population will reproduce less. This will lead to fewer births than deaths in the fox population.
