Question1 Quantitative data are measures of values or counts and are expressed as numbers (www.abs.gov.au). In other words‚ quantitative data are data about numeric variables (www.abs.gov.au). Four types of quantitative data are interval‚ nominal‚ ordinal and ratio. Firstly‚ interval scales are numeric scales in which we know not only the order‚ but also the exact differences between the values (www.mymarketresearchmethods.com). Other than that‚ interval data also sometimes called integer is measured

with a plant. Plants provide food for ALL organisms‚ either directly or in directly (directly - animals eat plants or indirectly - animals eat other organisms which ate plants). The position an organism occupies in a food chain is called a trophic level e.g. producer‚ primary or secondary consumer. A SIMPLE FOOD CHAIN plant → animal eats plant → animal eats animal (producer) (primary consumer) (secondary consumer) E.g. cabbage → caterpillar

measurement. Index number are commonly used statistical devices for measuring the combined fluctuation in a group related variables. If we wish to compare the price level of consumer items today with that prevalent ten years ago‚ we are not interested in comparing the prices of only item‚ but in comparing some sort of average price levels. We may wish to compare the present agricultural production or industrial production with that at the time of inderpendence. Here again‚ we have to consider all items

is a continuous variable that provides a measure of the passage of energy and an index of ecological structure that increases in value counting progressively through the linkages in a linear fashion from the lowest to the highest trophic (feeding) levels.[7] Food chains are often used in ecological modeling (such as a three species food chain). They are simplified abstractions of real food webs‚ but complex in their dynamics and mathematical

This means understanding ourselves (intrapersonal perception) and others (interpersonal perception) in a deeper level. A key element for success in general is self-awareness.

An assignment might be due for a university student very soon‚ and at the very least the student must

Ecology is the scientific study of interactions among organisms and their environment. In relation to The Lion King‚ ecology is the circle of life. Ecological succession can change a community by making exponential changes to the ecosystem over time‚ symbiotic relationships are important in maintaining a stable ecosystem because they provide competition‚ parasitism‚ mutualism‚ and commensalism to have balanced populations‚ and the impact of a change in the food web would be drastic to the
