Population = number of whatever in an area Density = mass/volume or population/volume of an area

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (phebe):

size means how many individual organisms are in the population. density means How many organisms per unit area or unit volume. example: population density in my street is 8 people per block.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

huh?

OpenStudy (phebe):

Size is how big an for ddensity i gave you anexample

OpenStudy (phebe):

Population density shows were the population is most dense, or where a majority of them are.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (shrutipande9):

see for eg my family has 4 ppl so the population of my family is 4 but we live in a 5000sqfeet area house so the density is 4ppl per 5000sqfeet

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok? so the relation is that per population, density determines is they are clumped, randomly distributed or evenly distributed

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and so if the population of a r-strategist tend to be _____in size and grow_______,while populations of k-strategist tend to _________ in size and grow_______

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1) bigger 2)faster 3) smaller 4) slower is that right
