Question

You may have heard the advice to "eat low on the food chain." Explain how choosing a soybean-protein "burger'' rather than a beef burger for lunch is energy efficient with respect to energy flow and utilization in trophic levels. Would you expect a population in which most members survive for a long time lo produce few or many offspring? Which would be most advantageous to the population as a whole? Suppose a human population exhibits a Type III survival curve. What would you expect to happen to the curve over time if a dramatic improvement in medical technology takes place?

Explanation / Answer

7) It is clearly said that vegenetarianism is always better for the planet than eating meat.Soya bean burger is highly energy efficient than beef burger .For every 100 calorie of energy put into producing convential beef,from farm to supermarket shelf,we get only six calorie back to eat as compared to raw soya which has an amazing 415 calorie.In general we get less fat and calories and more fibre in soyabean burger than beef burger.

8 ) Individuals producing less offspring will be advantageous to the population.Less population leads to less use of natural resources,less pullution,more survival rate and a better tomorrow for every one.

8)A survivorship curve is a graph showing the number proportion of individuals surviving at each age for a given species or group.Type III or concave curve has greatest mortality early in life , with reletavely low rates of death..As we are moveing into the new millenium and medical science are entering the most exciting phase of their development.Death rate has declined and birth rate has increased.New medicines has been discovered to cure deadliest diseases, and there is medical help for each and every problem.
