Question

On a logarithmic scale, how is the equation S = CA^z described?

(a) log C / Z log A = log S

(b) log C + Z log A =  log S

(c) log C x  log ZA = log S

(d) -Z log A – log C = log S

I had been asked this question during a job interview.

The query is from Patterns of Biodiversity topic in chapter Biodiversity and Conservation of Biology – Class 12

Answer 1

Correct choice is (b) log C + Z log A =  log S

Easy explanation: On a logarithmic scale, S = CA^z is described as log S = log C + Z log A. Here S = Species richness, A = Area explored, Z = slope of the line (regression coefficient), and C = Y-intercept.
