Detailed explanation-1: -The common brushtail possum is a marsupial native to Australia. This possum was introduced to New Zealand where it had no natural predators and had an abundant food supply. Which of these likely occurred a few years after the introduction of this possum to New Zealand? The possums became extinct.
Detailed explanation-2: -If a population exceeds carrying capacity, the ecosystem may become unsuitable for the species to survive. If the population exceeds the carrying capacity for a long period of time, resources may be completely depleted. Populations may die off if all of the resources are exhausted.
Detailed explanation-3: -to prevent the organisms that live in this ecosystem from competing for food and shelter. When the environment has reached its human carrying capacity, which of the following conclusions can be made? Growth and immigration rate is equal to death and emigration rate.
Detailed explanation-4: -Carrying capacity, or the maximum number of individuals that an environment can sustain over time without destroying or degrading the environment, is determined by a few key factors: food availability, water, and space.
Detailed explanation-5: -Which of the following most likely describes the birthrate and the death rate for this population? Birthrate is significantly greater than death rate. If birthrate was greater than death rate, the population would be increasing.
