INTRASPECIFIC COMPETION: THE RESPONSE OF THE SUNFLOWER (genus HELIANTHUS) TO INCREASING DENSITY. INTRODUCTION All species‚ including plants‚ are impacted by density. Plants‚ of course‚ cannot leave their habitat as animals can‚ so they tend to respond in different ways to density. As populations grow more dense‚ they compete for resources such as food and space and are more prone to disease. Less dense populations are more susceptible to predation pressure. It is hypothesized that as plants

Determining the accuracy of varieties of pipettes by weighing and finding the density of a liquid Abstract Different varieties of pipettes (P100‚ PR1000 pipettors and a serological pipette) along with a weighing balance was used in this investigation to check the density of an unknown liquid by first finding out what the liquid weighed and plotting a graph of the mass in grams against the volume of the liquid used in micro litres (µl) and finding the gradient of the graph (∆Y/∆X). Most of the

Population density affects the amount of space people have for housing in Japan. The high population density how people move around cities in Japan and Japanese cities. Population affect the way land is used in Japan. It also has effects on the health of people in Japan. People in Japan have so little space for their homes almost everyone lives in apartments. These apartments are so tiny that they usually don’t have enough space for bedrooms. People in Japan will typically convert their living rooms

The article chose review is “Effect of exercise training on loss of bone mineral density during lactation”. The purpose of this study was to determine whether exercise slows bone loss from four to twenty postpartum. The problem was that during lactation women move breast milk. After finishing breast feeding bone mass usually returns to pre pregnancy but not in all and this is the problem. The participants were healthy ‚nonsmoking ‚ sedentary ‚exclusively breast feeding women with a body mass index

population density of major insect pest as influenced by spatial arrangement in pechay by ABSTRACT Spatial arrangement in pechay production could be used as an strategic pest management. Three different spacing were used to determine the effects of spatial arrangement in the population density of pechay. The spacing were 2.5 x 5 in‚ 3.5 x 5 in and 5 x 5 in per plant. Collections of insect pests were done starting five days after transplanting and continued every three days until harvest. Damage

Hong Kong Housing Problem is not only attributed to the High Population Density Every Hong Kong citizen knows one of the grave troubles in Hong Kong is housing problem. The order of severity can be apparently reflected by many figures in recent research studies. ”Rents up 22 per cent in Hong Kong“ (2011) remarks that “the price of renting two-bedroom accommodation rose by 22% to US$2‚830 a month between 2009 and 2010“ (¶2).
