Question

In a 10 m2 ecosystem, there are 20 raccoons. The population density of raccoons is _____. 2 per m2 4 per m2 10 per m2 20 per m2

Answer 1

2per m2 thats your answer

Answer 2

The correct answer is option A,
`2(Racoons)/(m^2)\\`

Step-by-step explanation:

The Population density of any species in an ecosystem is equal to the number of that species living in one unit of area.

Therefore, population density can be represented as

`(Total population )/(Total area of habitat) \\`

Substituting the given values in above equation, we get -

`= (20)/(10) (Racoons)/(m^2)\\= 2 (Racoons)/(m^2)\\`
