what is carrying capacity?
Predation can decrease a population by directly killing individuals. Competition for resources can limit population growth by reducing access to food, mates, or other necessities. Crowding and stress can also limit population growth by increasing competition, reducing reproductive success, and weakening immune systems, making individuals more vulnerable to disease.
There is a limit to available resources and all organisms in an ecosystem compete for those resources. Those that are better adapted, will obtain higher amounts of those resources leaving less for those that do not have the best abilities. These organisms that did not obtain all the resources they needed will die therefore controlling population growth.
Population growth is limited by the ability of the natural environment to sustain it. It can be limited by food shortages or a lack of shelter. Disease outbreaks can also limit population growth.

Shorter life expectancy, incurable disease, over population and not enough food can limit population growth
They kill and harm eachother, thus decreasing population. Hope that helps :)
If members of the same species are competing for limited resources, then each individual would receive fewer resources when the population size of intraspecific competitors increases. Fewer resources per individual will(1) decrease the growth rates of individuals,(2) increase the chance that individuals die of starvation(3) decrease the number of offspring that a female can produce.
people need more land
There is no competition for resources is the correct answer for Apex
