Based on our study, which of the following are migratory animals?

• Bison

• Buffalo

• Water buffalo

• Wildebeest

Carrying capacity can be on graphs by?

• Locating the greatest increase

• Locating any change

• Determining where the line is horizontal

• Determining where the line is vertical

• Can't be seen on graphs

Two areas have different values of biomass for prey. What might help predators in the area with biomass for prey is greater in value.

• More food for the predator

• Prey are bigger and easier to catch

• Fewer predator compared to prey, less competition.

• More predators so easier to reproduce.

Prey density is how many prey in the area. How might this be used to help carrying capacity for predators?
