Which of the following is not an interpretation that can be made from an age structure diagram?

a) the rate of change in population size
b) the distribution of age
c) the comparative sizes of the male and female populations
d) the effect of a natural disaster on population size

the age structure diagram can be defined as the diagram which shows the distribution of the population among the different ages. the age structure diagram shows the distribution of the people in a population among the different ages, and the comparative sizes of the male and female populations among these age groups. this diagram is also capable of showing the effect of any natural disaster on the size of the population. however, the age structure diagram cannot show the rate of change in the size of population over time.

hence, the correct answer is 'option a - rate of change in population size'.

one is through turgidity. this occurs before ground tissue ( collenchyma

and sclerenchyma cells) become well

developed to give structural support to the plant as it grows bigger. the xylem

tissue (composed of rigid tissue) of the young

plant render this support and also maintaining osmotic turgidity of the surrounding

plant cells.
