According to the graph, what is causing the deer population to decrease
They got sick
The wolf population is decreasing
The wolf population increased
They ran out of food
Predator population lags behind prey population because......
Increase in predators leads to decrease in prey
Increase in predators leads to increase in prey
Increase in predators leads to decrease in producers
Increase in producers leads to increase in prey
The largest number of individuals that an environment can support long term is...
carrying capacity
emigration
immigration
population density
Something that regulates the size of a population is called...
a limiting measure
a limiting factor
carrying capacity
biodiversity
What happens if a population grows past its carrying capacity?
The population keeps growing
The population starts to die off
The entire species will go extinct
The carrying capacity just increases
What are factors that affect carrying capacity?
Biotic only
Biotic and abiotic
Depends on the ecosystem
Abiotic only
What is the carrying capacity of the graph?
1000
8000
800
600
This may cause a population to increase
increase of food supply
removal of predators
removal of disease
all of these
What is the carrying capacity of the graph?
around 500
more than 800
less than 300
around 700
A scientist was studying a population of fish in a pond over a period of 10 years. He observed that the population increased each year for 3 years, and then remained nearly constant for the rest of the study. The best explanation for this observation is that the population had
stopped reproducing
reached carrying capacity
mutated into a different species
run out of food and all died
