Question

what is the largest population size a particular environment can support without harming the environment? a carrying capacity b exponential growth c logistic growth d r - selected

Explanation:

• Carrying capacity refers to the maximum number of individuals of a species that an environment can support indefinitely without degrading the environment.
• Exponential growth is a pattern of population increase where the population grows at a constant rate, without considering environmental limits.
• Logistic growth is a model that describes population growth that is initially exponential but slows as the population approaches the environment's carrying capacity.
• r - selected refers to a life - history strategy where organisms produce many offspring with little parental care, often in unstable environments.

Answer:

A. carrying capacity
