What happens when an environment has reached its carrying capacity for a population?
The population continues to grow.
How is any wildlife population size limited?
Any wildlife population size is limited because of carrying capacity. Carrying capacity is the largest a population can grow before it doesn't have any more resources.
Population grow until this stage is reached?
Population grow until the stage of carrying capacity is reached. At this point, the population growth rate is equal to zero.
What happens when an environment has not reached its carrying capacity for a population?
The population continues to grow.
What results when a population grows larger than the carrying capacity of the environment?
In the event a population grows above the carrying capacity for that population, the weakest links of begin to die out as the strongest live to compete for resources. The large population of one organism, assuming that organism is a consumer, can cause another population of organisms to become scarce due to the overfeeding on that organism.
What happens when an environment has reached its carrying capacity for a population?
The population continues to grow.
What happens to a population that has not reached its carrying capacity?
exponential
When a rabbit population cannot grow any larger it has reached its?
carrying capacity

What happens when a popuation reaching carrying capacity?
The population continues to grow.
What happens to a population when its grows larger than its carrying capacity?
basically the size of a population can only grow to equal the amount of resources the environment can provide (carrying capacity). So if there arent many resources in an area and too large of a population, then there will be starvation and fight for resources. But if there is an overabundance of resources and the carrying capacity is very high, then the population will grow till it falls under its own weight. It's the cirlce of life.
Why has the human population continued to grow in spite of environment limitations?
Because we use technology to repeatedly increase our carrying capacity.
What is the difference between carrying capacity and biotic potential?
carrying capacity is the largest number of individuals of one species that an environment can support. Biotic potential is the potential growth of a population if it could grow in perfect conditions with no limiting factors.
What happens when an environment has not reached its carrying capacity for a population?
The population continues to grow.

Populations grow until what stage is reached?
Carrying Capacity
