Carrying Capacity
Biology ⇒ Ecology and Environment
Carrying Capacity starts at 9 and continues till grade 12.
QuestionsToday has an evolving set of questions to continuously challenge students so that their knowledge grows in Carrying Capacity.
How you perform is determined by your score and the time you take.
When you play a quiz, your answers are evaluated in concept instead of actual words and definitions used.
See sample questions for grade 10
A population of 200 birds is living in a forest with a carrying capacity of 500. If the birth rate is higher than the death rate, what will happen to the population?
A population of 400 animals is in an environment with a carrying capacity of 600. If the population grows by 50 animals per year, how many years will it take to reach carrying capacity?
A population of deer in a forest is 800. The carrying capacity of the forest is 1000. What is likely to happen to the deer population if resources remain constant?
A population of rabbits in a field is 1200. The carrying capacity is 1000. What will likely happen to the rabbit population?
A lake can support up to 500 fish. If 600 fish are introduced, what is likely to happen? (1) The population will keep increasing (2) The population will decrease to around 500 (3) All fish will die (4) The population will stay at 600

Which of the following best describes carrying capacity? (1) The number of species in an ecosystem (2) The maximum population size an environment can sustain (3) The amount of food available in an ecosystem (4) The rate at which a population grows
Fill in the blank: Carrying capacity is influenced by both ______ and biotic factors.
Fill in the blank: The carrying capacity of an environment can be reduced by ______ such as pollution or habitat destruction.
Fill in the blank: The logistic growth model describes how a population grows more slowly as it approaches its ______.
Fill in the blank: When a population exceeds its carrying capacity, ______ increases due to competition for limited resources.
True or False: Carrying capacity applies only to animal populations, not plants.
True or False: Carrying capacity can be estimated using mathematical models.
True or False: Carrying capacity can change over time due to environmental changes.
True or False: Carrying capacity is always a fixed number for a given environment.
