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 9
A lake has a carrying capacity of 1,000 fish. If the fish population is currently 800, what can you infer about the availability of resources?
A population of 1,200 birds lives on an island with a carrying capacity of 1,000. What is likely to happen to the bird population?
A population of 400 animals is living in an area with a carrying capacity of 600. If the birth rate is higher than the death rate, what will likely happen to the population?
Describe how a drought might affect the carrying capacity of a grassland for herbivores.
A forest can support up to 200 deer. If the deer population increases to 250, what is the carrying capacity of the forest?
A lake has a carrying capacity of 1,000 fish. If the fish population is currently 800, what can you infer about the availability of resources?
