Handout 16 – competing plant & animal defense systems Body structures for anti-predator defenses: Plants – thorns, sticky microscopic hairs on leaves irritating to insects, toxic oils (poison ivy) Animals – structures (hard shell), behavior, coloration (camouflage or warning coloration such as coral snakes or bees = protective or warning coloration & mimics that are harmless but resemble a harmful animal) How long can mimics continue their char...

BIO 311D - Exam 2 Review. 1. Populations Population definition: a group of interbreeding individuals -group of individuals of the same species that lives and reproduces from year to year in a particular location (lecture) Population size is dependent on growth factors ● Exponential growth ○ Resources are plentiful ○ Influenced by birth rate and death rate ○ Proportional to the size of the population
