Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
At what point does a resource become a LIMITED RESOURCE?
A
When there is not enough of the resource to share with all organisms that need it
B
When the resource has a limited edition design/packaging
C
When there is too much of the resource for the amount of organisms that need it
D
When there is just enough of a resource for organisms that need it
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Resources can be consumed by one organism and, as a result, become unavailable to another organism. When resources are limited, “competition, ” increases and some populations of organisms will decrease. Some individuals may even be weaker or smaller without the resources they need.

Detailed explanation-2: -The common limiting factors in an ecosystem are food, water, habitat, and mate. The availability of these factors will affect the carrying capacity of an environment. As the population increases, food demand increases as well. Since food is a limited resource, organisms will begin competing for it.

Detailed explanation-3: -The struggle between organisms to survive in a habitat with limited resources is called competition.

Detailed explanation-4: -When there are not enough resources, the number of individuals in the population is limited. Resources that limit population growth are called limiting factors. Limiting factors prevent the population from getting too large. When the population stops growing, the ecosystem has reached its carrying capacity.
