Which scenario best illustrates the concept of carrying capacity?
|
|
The exponential growth of a fruit fly population continues to increase and will eventually double in ten days.
|
|
|
The exponential growth of ants increases dramatically when its competitor species is forced to move due to habitat loss.
|
|
|
The logistic growth of a giraffe population continues to decline due to the increase in number of predators.
|
|
|
The logistic growth of a bunny population has stabilized because the population has reached the largest numbers that the area can support.

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Carrying Capacity Examples In nature, the population of a given area may reach carrying capacity when the maximum population size is reached for a given area with limited resources. For example, a pond inhabited initially by ten turtles will be sustainable for the species’ population.
Detailed explanation-2: -The logistic growth is more realistic because it considers those environmental limits that are density, food abundance, resting place, sickness, parasites, competition. It tells us that the population has a limit because of those environmental factors.
