What happens to a population when the size of the population reaches carrying capacity?
starvation increases to the point where this population is maintained.
What happens to a population when the number of individuals approaches carrying capacity?
starvation increases to the point where this population is maintained.
As a population reaches its carrying capacity there is an increase in competition for?
When carrying capacity of an area is reached, there is competition for all resources. This can include food, water, land, and air.
If an ecosystem decreases in space what will happen to competition?
In population biology, carrying capacity is defined as the environment's maximal load which is different from the concept of population equilibrium.Hence, if an ecosystem decreases in space, competition will also decrease.
On a logistic population growth curve the growth starts to slow down after initial growth because there aren't enough resources to support as many new individuals?
exponential (<-----Apex)
When does a J-shaped curve convert to an S-shaped curve?
An "S' curve (on a population chart) reaches its carrying capacity and levels out, while a "J" curve hits its carrying capacity and just continues causing a population explosion and competition for resources.
What factor will most likely increases the carrying capacity of a mouse population in a forest?
High rains increase the water supply
What is a factor that might cause the carrying capacity of a population to change?
Will be higher seasons when more food is available
What happen when a population reach its carrying capacity?
Ideally a population at its carrying capacity is stable, there is enough for all to survive. The system is usually slightly underdamped and the population will vary between just over its carrying capacity where some individuals suffer and under its capacity where there is a surplus. If the system is severely under damped there are extreme swings in the population. A typical example is the relation between Arctic hares and foxes.
Is a limiting factor the largest population size that can be supported by the available resources of an area?
carrying capacity.
On a logistic population growth curve the growth starts to slow down after initial growth because there aren't enough resources to support as many new individuals.?
exponential (<-----Apex)
What is it called when a population starts out slowly then increases rapidly and eventually flattens out at the carrying capacity?
logistic growth
