In a 10 m2 ecosystem, there are 40 possums. What is the population density of possums? 2 per m2 4 per m2 10 per m2 40 per m2

Respuesta :

the above answer is incorrect, i chose it. the CORRECT answer is B. hope this helps.

Answer:

Option B, 4 per m2

Explanation:

The population density of any species or human is the number of species or human beings living in a unit area.

Thus population density can be represented mathematically as

Population density [tex]= \\[/tex] Number of species/Human beings in a given region[tex]/\\[/tex] Area of the region ----------------Eq (A)

Given -

Area of the ecosystem [tex]= 10 m^{2} \\[/tex]

Total number of possums [tex]= 40\\[/tex]

Substituting the value in equation A, we get -

[tex]\frac{40}{10m^{2} } \\= 4 m^{2} \\[/tex]

Thus, option B, is correct.
