Counting the number of organisms in one area and multiplying to estimate the number in a larger area is called?

Population density is the counting of number of organisms in one area and multiplying to estimate the number in a larger area.


Why is the number larger when you divide fractions?

Because it's the same as multiplying the inverse. Dividing something by one third is the same as multiplying it by three. The number will get larger.


How will you treat an experimental group in a lab about finding why larger organisms get eaten more often than smaller organisms?

Why do large organisms live in cold climates but small organisms can't?

Larger organisms are required to consume and give off lots energy to survive. But, smaller organisms do not consume and release as much energy than larger ones. This energy, when given off, is represented by heat. Therefore, larger organisms produce more heat than smaller organisms, and this extra heat is required in cold climates.


When you divide by a fraction why does the quotient get larger?

When you divide by a fraction, you are multiplying by it's reciprocal or opposite. So if you are dividing by 1/2, it is the same thing as multiplying by 2/1.


Can single celled organisms grow larger by making new cells?

n a single-celled organism , the cell gets larger and divides, making other organisms.


What are four ways to determining population size?

Sampling - counting the number of organisms in a small area and multiplying to estimate the number in a larger areaMark & Recapture - capture an organism & release it to remix with population. Then recapture some more in that area to determine population size. Formula is as follows: R (marked recaptures) / C (total in second sample) = M (marked initially) / N (total pop. size)Indirect Observation - estimating the population size by tracks, nest or other animal signs in an ecosystem.Direct Observation - count all members of a population in an ecosystem


Which fraction is larger one third or two fifths?

1/3 is the same as 5/15 by multiplying the numerator and the denominator by 5 2/5 is the same as 6/15 by multiplying the numerator and the denominator by 3 6/15 is larger than 5/15 so 2/5 is larger than 1/3. 2/5 is larger than 1/3.


Do organism grow larger?

Yes; many organisms do grow.


What is involved in muscle contraction in larger organisms?

Involved in muscle contraction in larger organisms is microfilament. Structures found only in plant cells are plastids. A type of plastid is chloroplasts.


When does multiplying by a fraction give an answer that is larger than that original answer?

A fraction can be larger than 1, for example, 4/2 is a fraction (which can be simplified to 2). Only a fraction that is larger than 1, multiplied by another number gives you a larger number.
