Describe 3 abiotic factors that could affect biotic potential (population growth) and how they would affect it

Three Abiotic factors that could affect population growth is temperature, pollution, and weather. Pollution could affect the population growth because there could be toxic waste in the air that could cause harm to many people. So it could cause many deaths. Weather and temperature could affect the population because people could die for heat stroke, an they could also freeze to death.

Describe why sampling is important to the study of populations


Sampling is important to the study of populations because it shows us how the world is working
as of right now. Also it can show us the amount of resources we are currently using, and how it will soon affect us. But actually it's affecting us now, because we are currently in a recession. So the economy is really bad.

Which biome would you most like to visit? Why?


the Biome I would really like to visit is the coral reef because I love to swim, and I would like to see all the different types of fishes and other animals that live there. My favorite animal that lives in the coral reef are green sea turtles. I was able to actually see a couple of them when i went to Hawaii a couple of years ago, when i went for a soccer tournament. It was really exciting, they are beautiful animals.

Should re-wilding species be keystone species? How could re-wilding be made successful?

Re-wilding should be a keystone species, because it's important thats we protect endangered species. We should be able to protect everything we have left on this earth, before its all gone. As an animal lover, I strongly agree to making re-wilding a keystone species. So i hope others agree with me also.

What surprised you most about the waste we create over a lifetime?

What surprised me the most about the waste we create is how much different types of food we will consume in a lifetime. For example we will consume 13,056 pints of ilk, 1.7 tons of pork, 2.3 tons of chicken, 19,826 eggs, 25 pounds of candy, and 4,376 loaves of bread. Which is a lot of food for our tiny little bodies.
