@Arcadiouse I've been waiting for an 1hr ;-;

Arcadiouse:

Ok, why do you think they need to have more offspring?

katherine:

to make more babies?

Arcadiouse:

Well, yes. There are other reasons though. Like, their life span.

katherine:

it says here "Every female mosquito can have 2,000 babies in her 2 week lifetime"

Arcadiouse:

Well, what are the differences between human and mosquitoes when its about breeding and offspring?

katherine:

idek, i'm so sorry. My head is everywhere right now.

katherine:

my mum is confusing the hell out of me with other assg.

Arcadiouse:

Ok, well humans don't have that much offspring. Our lifespan is much longer, we don't have many predators.

katherine:

which question are we doing? So I can be on the same page as you

Arcadiouse:

The mosquitoes need to have so much offspring because the lifespan of every one is so little that they need to make sure that there is enough of them to keep their species alive.

Arcadiouse:

4

katherine:

Added

katherine:

okay 4 is done. (Thank goodness)

katherine:

Now we got 5 and we're done.

Arcadiouse:

I think the chart shows only the female population because the females are the ones who produce the offspring.

Arcadiouse:

Maybe it is because females are the only ones who suck blood?

katherine:

That 's what I was thinking... The female sick more blood than the male

katherine:

suck*

Arcadiouse:

So the death sick is more

katherine:

Exactly Yes

Arcadiouse:

death risk*

katherine:

I got one more page with 4 questions? Could you help a little more?

Arcadiouse:

Sure

Arcadiouse:

6. decrease 7. Correct 9. When there is a predator boom the mosquito population tends to decrease some, while if the predator population declines the mosquito population booms.

katherine:

for 10 I was thinking of a Bear

Arcadiouse:

Bear and salmon.

katherine:

yes! Fish

Arcadiouse:

Ok, explain :)

katherine:

Well, they rely on each other because when the bear is hungry it rely's on food. So it going in ocean or river and prey's on fish. Because it keep the bear stuffed and alive

katherine:

Without it, the bear could die.

Arcadiouse:

Yes, ok So the limitations for the prey is that it has to stay in water, the bear sometimes heavily relies on the salmon so the salmon population stays in a medium sized population. Lastly, a limitation on the prey would be the time it takes for offspring to be born.

katherine:

Awesome! Thank you so much

Arcadiouse:

Np!
