When there is plenty of food When there is not enough food When there are old animals When there are very few animals 3 / 15 What is likely to happen to the populations of zebras and gazelles when they are competing for the same grassy area? Both populations are likely to grow. Both populations will likely immediately leave the area. The growth of both populations is likely to be limited. Both populations are likely to stay exactly the same. 4 / 15 What are all individuals of the same species living in the same place at the same time called? community biosphere population ecosystem 5 / 15 Define "limiting factor" 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 minimum number of individuals of a species that an environment can support 6 / 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. Interdependent Reproductive Potential Competition Carrying Capacity 7 / 15 A population is a group of living and nonliving things that are exist in the same environment. 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. nonliving things that are located in the same area and provide resource for living things. 8 / 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 9 / 15 Why do populations never reach their biotic potential? because there are always resources available because there is always plenty of food in a population because there are always many animals in an ecosystem because there are always limiting factors 10 / 15 What will happen to the populations of animals in this forest after the fire? decrease increase increase then decrease stay the same 11 / 15 Which of the following is an example of a limiting factor for an owl? Snow Mice Soil Sunlight 12 / 15 An ecosystem is a group of populations of living things and the non-living parts of their environment. any area that located on land. 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. 13 / 15 Why do animals compete for food? to attract another animal to survive to win a medal to mate 14 / 15 Define "carrying capacity" when population increases slowly at first then grow at an accelerated rate maximum number of individuals of a species that an environment can support any factors in an environment that are limited minimum number of individuals of a species that an environment can support 15 / 15 How can overpopulation impact other populations of animals?
