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?
Describe how seasonal changes can affect the carrying capacity of an environment.
Describe how technological advances have affected the carrying capacity for humans.
Describe one consequence of exceeding the carrying capacity in an ecosystem.
Describe one way in which invasive species can affect the carrying capacity of native species.
Explain how disease can act as a limiting factor for carrying capacity.
Explain how limiting factors affect the carrying capacity of a population.
Explain the difference between density-dependent and density-independent limiting factors in relation to carrying capacity.
Explain why carrying capacity is important for wildlife management.
Explain why carrying capacity is not a fixed value for all time.
If a population exceeds its carrying capacity, what is likely to happen to the population size over time?
If a population is at carrying capacity, what is the net population growth rate?
What is the definition of carrying capacity in an ecosystem?
