2. Varied answers: Loss of habitat, lack of food, disease, environmental factors Different parts of the
ecosystem interact with one another. Changes to one part affect other parts.

biodiversity.

Measuring Population Density
Objective:
 Determine the pattern of population distribution using mathematical formula
 Compare the distribution patterns of the different populations.
Materials:
Ruler Pencil & Paper
Procedure:
1. Study the three patterns of population distribution in
Figure 4.
2. Using the given formula for computing population density,
calculate the density of each population
Density = number of individuals / size of the area
3. Count the total number for each population. Record the
number in the table.
4. On a sheet of paper, prepare a table to record the data
for population density
Table 1 Population Density

Population name Number of organisms Density
Population Name Name of organisms Density
5. Calculate the density of each population. Record it in the table.

Guide Questions:
Q 1. Compare the distribution patterns of the three populations.
___________________________________________________________
Q 2. Which population has the greatest density? _______________________
Q 3. Infer from recorded data from the possible causes for the differences in the population density.
Q 4. What conditions could change the density of any of the population.
_______________________________________________________________
Q 5. Describe how a population’s density can be used to learn about the needs and characteristics of
that population. _____________________________________
Answers:
The Bermuda grass population is the largest then the lily population.
The clover population has the least number.
The Bermuda grass population has the greatest density.
Answers may include: availability of sunlight, nutrients, or water; presence of other organisms that
feed on the plants; the space available to each individual plant.
Answers may vary. Any change in the factors listed in question 5 could lead to change in population
density
Population density is based on the relationship between the needs of individual species and a
complex mix of limiting factors. Differences might point to potential problems such as pollutants or
disease.

Biodiversity Facts
The Philippines is one of 18 mega-biodiverse countries of the world, containing two-thirds of the
earth’s biodiversity and between 70% and 80% of the world’s plant and animal species. The
Philippines ranks fifth in the number of plant species and maintains 5% of the world’s flora.
Species endemism is very high, covering at least 25 genera of plants and 49% of terrestrial
wildlife, while the country ranks fourth in bird endemism. The Philippines is also one of the
world’s biodiversity hotspots with at least 700 threatened species, thus making it one of the top
global conservation areas. The national list of threatened faunal species was established in
2004 and includes 42 species of land mammals, 127 species of birds, 24 species of reptiles and
14 species of amphibians. In terms of fishes, the Philippines counts at least 3,214 species, of
which about 121 are endemic and 76 threatened. In 2007, an administrative order issued by the
Department of Environment and Natural Resources established a national list of threatened
plant species, indicating that 99 species were critically endangered, 187 were endangered, 176
vulnerable as well as 64 other threatened species.

Questions:
1. What does the Philippines rank base on the number of plant species?
2. How many threatened species are there in the Philippines thus making it in the biodiversity

Weekly Assessment
I. Answer briefly the following questions in your answer sheet:

1. If the population species of a given area is doubled, what effect would this have on the
resources of the community?
2. In a population, limiting factors and population density are often related. Suppose that
the population density of plant seedlings in an area is very high, explain how limiting factors
may affect population density.
3. In a farm, soy beans were the only crop that that was planted on several hectares of
land. A farmer noticed that a fungus was growing all over the soy bean fields. Predict what
might eventually happen to the soybeans and the fungus.
4. How is forest ecosystem affected when trees are cut down?
5. What is the main cause of extinction in plant and animal species?
II. II. Work on the following problems:
1. Suppose 60 ants live in a 4 sq m plot of grass. What would be the population density of
the ants? What would the population density be if 100 ants live in an 8 sq m plot of grass?
2. If 40 carabaos live in a 1 ½ sq m area, what is their population density per sq. km. ?
3. How many monkeys would have to live in a ¾ sq. km. area to have the same population
density as the carabao?
III. Choose the best answer that completes each sentence.

1. Pollutants dumped into the rivers and streams eventually find their way to (a. the ocean
b. the atmosphere c. groundwater supplies)
2. The average temperature of the earth’s atmosphere may rise as a result of (a. the
greenhouse effect b. water pollution c. garbage dumping)
3. Many (a. non-renewable b. alternative c. expensive) energy sources are being
developed to replace fossil fuels.
4. Some endangered species of plants in tropical rain forests may be sources of (a. fossil
fuel b. medicine c. hazardous waste)
5. Humans are using (a. fewer b. better c. more) natural resources than they did 100 years
ago.
Answer key:
1. Competition for resources would increase as resources decline.

2. The greater the population density, the greater the effect of limiting factors. For example, when
population density of plant seedlings is too great, there may not be enough water to support the
growth and development of all the seedlings. Many will not survive, reducing the size of the
population.
3. The soy beans might be killed by the fungus, which would most likely also die.
4. Plants and animals living in the forest will lose their habitats and will decrease in number. Soil
erosion increases
5. Destruction of habitat is the main cause of extinction.
II.
1. 15 ants per sq. m. size, 60 ants divided by 4 sq.m. equals 15; if there are 100 ants in an 8 sq.m.
plot, the population density is 12.5 ants per sq.m.
2. About 27 per sq.km.
