In a year, a population of lions had four births, two deaths from disease, one natural death, five emigrations, and five immigrations. in the same year, a population of zebras had five births, three deaths, four emigrations, and one immigration. which best explains the data?

The statement, which best explain the data is this: THE ZEBRAS HAVE A LOWER POPULATION GROWTH RATE THAN THE LIONS.

From the data given in the question, the population growth rate for lions and zebra can be calculated. The formula for calculating population growth rate is: Population growth rate = [Number of birth - Number of death] + [Number of immigration + Number of emigration]

For lions, we have: Population growth rate = [4 - 3] + [5 - 5] = 1 + 0 = + 1

For zebras, we have: Population growth = [5 - 3] + [1 - 4] = 2 + [-3] = 2 - 3 = - 1.

From the calculation above we can see that, the lions have a higher population growth rate than the zebras.

"-the movement of carbon from the nonliving environment into living things and back to the environment

-carbon is the essential component of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates (which make up all organisms)

-carbon exists in air, water, and living organisms

-producers convert carbon dioxide in the atmosphere into carbohydrates during photosynthesis

-bacteria in the atmosphere cycles through the system in filtration units

-in cellular respiration, carbon is released back into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide

-some carbon is stored in limestone (forming one of the largest "carbon sinks" on earth)

-largest carbon reservoir on earth= limestone

-carbon stored in the bodies of organisms as fat, oils, or other molecules may be released into the soil or air when the organism dies

-this may form deposits of coal, oil, or natural gas (fossil fuels, which increased the atmospheric carbon dioxide)

-fossil fuels store carbon left over from bodies of organisms that died millions of years ago

-they are located in the surface of earth, deep within the earth and beneath the ocean floor."    

well, i believe that the answer is 2. : 3
