​Examples of limiting factors

Multiple Choice

Things that limit how large a population can grow is called

• Limiting factors

• Nonbiotic factors

• Need factors

Multiple Select

Which of the following are examples of limiting factors

• Food

• Disease

• Water

• Shelter

Multiple Choice

The maximum amount an ecosystem can support of a population is called

• Death number

• Limit number

• Carrying Capacity

• Final Capacity

Multiple Choice

What is the carrying capacity of this population?

• 35

• 1500

• 2000

• 2500

Multiple Choice

When a specific population grows past the ecosystem's carrying capacity, what happens to the population?

• Density Independent limiting factors start to occur resulting in the population going farther above carrying capacity.

• Density Dependent limiting factors start to occur resulting in the population going back below carrying capacity.

• The population will go extinct due to lack of resources

• The population grows then finds a new carrying capacity

Multiple Choice
