Question

what do survivorship curves help us understand about populations? the percent of individuals that stay alive over time the preferred habitats in populations the feeding and bathing habits in populations the various immigration patterns in populations

Explanation:

Survivorship curves plot the number of survivors (y - axis) against age (x - axis). By definition, they show the proportion of a population that remains alive as time (age) progresses. The other options (preferred habitats, feeding/bathing habits, immigration patterns) are not related to the data represented on a survivorship curve. A survivorship curve focuses on survival over time, not on ecological preferences (habitats), behaviors (feeding/bathing), or population movement (immigration).

Answer:

the percent of individuals that stay alive over time
