Angel was trying to explain carrying capacity to her mother. Which of the following descriptions is accurate? Carrying capacity is :
the maximum number of individuals that an ecosystem can sustain.
the ability of an environment to accommodate a growing population.
the greatest number of individuals that an area can sustain over the long term.
the maximum number of species that can co -exist in an area.
An animal population decreases from 800 individuals to 600 individuals. Which of the following could explain this change in population size?
The population size of the animal’s predator increased.
The emigration rate of the animals from the population decreased.
The number of breeding pairs in the animal’s population increased.

In some ecosystems, wolves have been eliminated due to their threats to humans. How can the reintroduction of wolves benefit the ecosystem?
It can eliminate weak animals from a prey population, thereby decreasing competition for natural resources
It can eliminate the most fit animals among the prey population, which will cause an increase in birthrates of the prey
It can cause the prey population to migrate the other areas, resulting in more fit prey
It can cause the prey population to better blend in with their environment.
What do both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells contain?
membrane bound organelles
linear chromosomes
cytoplasm
a nucleus

Living cells come only from other living cells.
Each cell contains a cell membrane, cytoplasm, nucleus, mitochondria, and endoplasmic reticulum.
Cells are the smallest structure of living things that can perform the functions necessary for life.
