○ population will increase
○ population will decrease

○ carrying capacity
○ limiting capacity
amount of food and shelter are examples of * 10 points
○ carrying capacity
○ limiting factors
First Question:
Predators and diseases are factors that reduce the number of individuals in a population. So an increase in them leads to a population decrease.
The term for the maximum number of organisms an environment can support with its resources is "carrying capacity". "Limiting capacity" is not the correct term here.
Food and shelter availability limit how large a population can grow, so they are examples of limiting factors. Carrying capacity is the maximum number, not the factors themselves.
