Question

warm up 9/30 1) what do you notice? 2) what do you think it means? population 200 150 100 50 -20°c -35°c 50 100 150 200 250 time (sec)

Explanation:

1. The graph shows two population - time curves for different temperatures ($- 20^{\circ}C$ and $- 35^{\circ}C$). Notice that the population increases over time for both temperatures, and the population at $- 35^{\circ}C$ (green curve) seems to increase at a faster rate than the population at $- 20^{\circ}C$ (red curve) as time progresses.
2. This likely means that the organisms or entities being studied grow or reproduce more rapidly at $- 35^{\circ}C$ compared to $- 20^{\circ}C$. Temperature may be an important factor affecting their growth or reproduction rate.

Answer:

1. The population at $- 35^{\circ}C$ increases faster than the population at $- 20^{\circ}C$ over time.
2. Temperature affects the growth or reproduction rate of the population, with $- 35^{\circ}C$ being more favorable for population increase.
