What is a factor that might cause the carrying capacity of a population to change?
Environmental changes such as availability of resources, changes in predation pressure, or disease outbreaks can affect the carrying capacity of a population by either increasing or decreasing the amount of resources available for the population to survive and reproduce.
How do limiting factors affect the carrying capacity of environment?
they cause individuals to dieoff or leave
Once limiting factors cause a population to slow its growth a J curve changes into a?
Once limiting factors cause a population to slow its growth, a J curve transitions into an S curve, also known as logistic growth. In this phase, the population growth rate decreases as it approaches the carrying capacity of the environment. As resources become limited, factors such as competition, predation, and disease begin to play a more significant role, stabilizing the population size. Ultimately, the population fluctuates around the carrying capacity rather than continuing to grow exponentially.
What is carrying capacity what happens if the population grows larger than the carrying capacity?
Carrying capacity is the maximum number of individuals that an environment can sustainably support. If a population exceeds the carrying capacity of its environment, resources like food, water, and shelter become limited, leading to competition, scarcity, and population decline through factors like starvation, disease, or migration.
What can affect a population after it reaches the carrying capacity?
After a population reaches its carrying capacity, factors such as competition for resources, increased susceptibility to diseases, and environmental degradation can lead to decreased reproduction rates, increased mortality, and overall population decline. This can create a cycle of fluctuations around the carrying capacity as the population responds to these constraints.
How can environmental change affect carrying capacity?
Environmental change can lower carrying capacity by reducing available resources like food and water, increasing competition among species. It can also directly impact the habitat suitability for certain species, making it harder for them to thrive and survive. Overall, environmental change can lead to a decrease in carrying capacity for a given ecosystem or population.
What factors can cause a population to reach its carrying capacity?
Food availability, water, environmental conditions, and space. These are the most basic factors. Some species like human have much more complex factors like health resources and sanitation just to name a few.
How do the limiting factors affect the carrying capacity of an environment?
they cause individuals to dieoff or leave

what are the six that cause a change in supply
What does the hardy Weinberg principle state?
allele frequencies in a population will remain constant unless one or more factors cause those frequencies to change
What factors can cause exposed land to change?
Weathering and erosion cause exposed land to change.
