What is the difference between 人工 and 人口 ?Feel free to just provide example sentences.

I realize that the first means artificial or man-made, and the other means population, but is there a difference in pronunciation between them? Or do you just use the rest of the sentence to understand which one the other person means?

Thanks very much! The whole tone thing sometimes confuses me (how the part of the word you emphasize changes its meaning), but I guess it doesn't apply to all the words. Thanks for clearing that up for me~
