Largest number of individuals of a population that the environment can support...  

• carrying capacity
• population crash
• lag phase
• mutualism

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

• Continues to grow
• The population starts to die off to return to carrying capcity
• The population will go extinct due to lack of resources
• The population grows then finds a new carrying capacity

Natural disasters and weather patterns like earthquakes, floods, and tornadoes, blizzards, and heatwaves are considered ___________ ____________ limiting factors

• Density-dependent
• Density-independent
