Question

1. look at the graph below. which of the following describes a possible explanation of the change in population between 1980 to 1982? wildebeest population vs. year the population decreased from 1980 to 1982 because there were more wildebeest competing for a limited supply of food. the population increased from 1980 to 1982 because there were few wildebeest competing for an unlimited supply of food. the population increased from 1980 to 1982 because there were more wildebeest competing for a limited supply of food. the population decreased from 1980 to 1982 because there were few wildebeest competing for an unlimited supply of food.

Explanation:

In ecology, when population size is high, more competition for limited resources like food can lead to a decrease in population. From the graph, the wildebeest population decreased from 1980 - 1982. More wildebeest competing for a limited food supply can cause this decline as some may not get enough food to survive or reproduce.

Answer:

The population decreased from 1980 to 1982 because there were more wildebeest competing for a limited supply of food.
