4. What is the main factor limiting population growth in K-strategists?

• A. Predation
• B. Availability of resources
• C. Competition
• D. Disease

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Rationale: K-strategists are species that have a low reproductive rate and invest more resources in raising fewer offspring. These species typically inhabit stable environments where resources are limited. The main factor limiting population growth in K-strategists is the availability of resources such as food, shelter, and space. When resources are scarce, K-strategists may struggle to find enough resources to support their population size, leading to decreased reproductive success and population growth. Predation (option A), competition (option C), and disease (option D) can also impact population growth, but the primary limiting factor for K-strategists is the availability of resources.

5. Where are most of the body's immune cells located?

• A. Blood
• B. Brain
• C. Skin
• D. Large intestine

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Rationale: - The majority of the body's immune cells are located in the blood. Immune cells, such as white blood cells (leukocytes), circulate throughout the body via the bloodstream to detect and fight off infections and foreign invaders. - While immune cells are also present in other parts of the body like the lymph nodes, spleen, and bone marrow, the blood serves as a primary conduit for immune cells to travel to different tissues and organs to carry out their functions. - The brain (option B) is protected by the blood-brain barrier, which limits the entry of immune cells into the brain to prevent inflammation and damage. - The skin (option C) contains immune cells like Langerhans cells that help protect against pathogens, but the largest concentration of immune cells is found in the blood. - The large intestine (option D) also houses a significant amount of immune cells due to its role in interacting with the external environment through
