When there are old animals When there are very few animals When there is not enough food When there is plenty of food 2 / 15 Why do animals compete for food? to attract another animal to mate to win a medal to survive 3 / 15 Why do populations never reach their biotic potential? because there is always plenty of food in a population because there are always many animals in an ecosystem because there are always resources available because there are always limiting factors 4 / 15 Why don't populations grow indefinitely? only biotic factors limiting factors only abiotic factors none of the above 5 / 15 How can overpopulation impact other populations of animals? Less Water Available Less Living Space Available Less food Available All the Above 6 / 15 When does overpopulation happen? When a population gets smaller than the carrying capacity When the population gets larger than the biotic potential When the population gets smaller than the biotic potential When a population gets larger than the carrying capacity 7 / 15 A population is a group of nonliving things that are located in the same area and provide resource for living things. a small group of living things that use the same resources. living things of the same species that live and reproduce in the same area. living and nonliving things that are exist in the same environment. 8 / 15 Define "limiting factor" minimum number of individuals of a species that an environment can support anything that constrains a population's size and slows or stops it from growing when population increases slowly at first then grow at an accelerated rate maximum number of individuals of a species that an environment can support 9 / 15 An ecosystem is a group of populations of living things but NOT the non-living parts of their environment. a group of populations of living things and the food sources in their environment. any area that located on land. a group of populations of living things and the non-living parts of their environment. 10 / 15 What are all individuals of the same species living in the same place at the same time called? community ecosystem biosphere population 11 / 15 What will happen to the populations of animals in this forest after the fire? decrease increase then decrease stay the same increase 12 / 15 The struggle between two or more species or individuals in an ecosystem that require the same resources, such as food, water, sun, or territory. Carrying Capacity Interdependent Reproductive Potential Competition 13 / 15 Which of the following is an example of a limiting factor for an owl? Soil Snow Mice Sunlight 14 / 15 What is likely to happen to the populations of zebras and gazelles when they are competing for the same grassy area? Both populations will likely immediately leave the area. Both populations are likely to grow. The growth of both populations is likely to be limited. Both populations are likely to stay exactly the same. 15 / 15 Define "carrying capacity" when population increases slowly at first then grow at an accelerated rate any factors in an environment that are limited minimum number of individuals of a species that an environment can support maximum number of individuals of a species that an environment can support Your score is 0% Restart quiz Go to the Quizzes Page
