A reading guide that provides 100% correct answers to questions related to the topic of birds and moths, specifically focusing on the concept of camouflage and its impact on the peppered moth population. The guide covers various aspects of the peppered moth's adaptation to changes in the environment, such as the impact of the industrial revolution on tree color and the subsequent changes in the moth's coloration. It also discusses the factors that can affect the peppered moth population, including predation and limiting factors, as well as the concept of ecological niche and selective pressures. The guide aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the topic and the processes involved in the adaptation of organisms to their environment.

what is the peppered moth an example of - ✔✔camouflage what does camouflage do for an organism? - ✔✔allows it to blend into natural environment and hide from predators what happened to tree color in industrial revolution? - ✔✔got darker due to soot what happened to peppered moths when trees were darker? - ✔✔less camouflage, got eaten more, more black moths reproduced (carbonaria) increase in factories impact on carbonaria - ✔✔increase increase in factories impact on typica - ✔✔decrease increase in factories impact on insularia - ✔✔no impact what were the two factors that could affect the peppered moth population - ✔✔factories, predation what does the predation rate represent - ✔✔number of prey killed by predators what is carrying capacity? - ✔✔maximum size of the population that can exist in an environment what do limiting factors do (bunnies) - ✔✔prevent exponential growth pattern
what are limiting factors based on? - ✔✔the fact that organisms share environment and ecosystems with other organisms What is ecological niche - ✔✔Particular set of conditions that the organism thrives in and interacts with Selective pressures - ✔✔Factors that favor one segment of the population over others How do selective pressures act? - ✔✔Act over time to change the distribution of traits in an organism adaptation - ✔✔process of traits becoming more frequent in a population, response to selective pressures How can organisms like bunnies grow from one generation to the next? - ✔✔Exponentially Why is the world not overrun by bunnies if they grow exponentially? - ✔✔Limited food, shelter and water can limit the number of organisms living in an area. What factors can determine organisms that are best suited to survive - ✔✔Environment, food and predators How do adaptations emerge - ✔✔As a means of combating selective pressures put on a population. what is carrying capacity? - ✔✔the limit on a population: that is how many of an organism can survive in an environement
