Question

Linda is studying the interaction between porcupines, pinion pine trees, and pine bark beetles. Over the course of her study in northern Texas, she observes the behaviors of 25 porcupines, records the location of 151 pinion pines, and traps 332 beetles. Her study encompasses ________ population(s) and ________ organisms.

Answer 1

3 ; 508

Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided in the question:

The number of porcupines observed = 25

The number of pinion pines location recorded = 151

The number of beetles trapped = 332

Now,

The total populations encompassed = Porcupines, pinion pines and beetles

therefore,

The total populations encompassed = 3

and,

The organisms encompassed = 25 + 151 + 332 = 508

hence,

the answer is 3 ; 508
