3. Which of the following determines the carrying capacity of a particular population by an
ecosystem?
keystone species
pioneer species
limiting factors
renewable resources***
its limiting factors not renewable resources. who ever sue is needs to learn what the right answers are.
I agree.
thank you (:
You're welcome.
D,c
imma press renewable resourcces (d) ill update
im back and the ansewer was C soooo :)
To determine the carrying capacity of a particular population in an ecosystem, we need to consider the factors that influence population growth and sustainability. These factors are referred to as limiting factors.
Limiting factors are certain conditions or resources within an ecosystem that restrict the growth, distribution, or abundance of a population. They can include both biotic (living) and abiotic (non-living) factors. Examples of limiting factors include availability of food, water, shelter, competition for resources, predation, disease, and other environmental factors.
Carrying capacity, on the other hand, refers to the maximum population size that an ecosystem can sustainably support over a long period of time. It is determined by the availability of critical resources and the ability of the ecosystem to handle waste and other impacts of the population.
So, in answer to your question, the carrying capacity of a particular population in an ecosystem is determined by limiting factors, not by keystone species, pioneer species, or renewable resources. Keystone species and pioneer species may play important roles in shaping ecosystems and influencing other species, but they do not directly determine carrying capacity. Renewable resources, while important for sustainable development, do not solely determine carrying capacity either.
To determine the carrying capacity of a population, you would need to assess the availability of resources and the impact of limiting factors on the population's growth. This can involve studying the population dynamics over time, analyzing the availability of resources, and considering the overall health and resilience of the ecosystem.
