Question

carrying capacity:
a is made up of an animals food and water needs
b can be changed by nature or humans
c is the same thing as habitat
d always remains the same

Explanation:

Carrying capacity refers to the maximum number of individuals of a species that an environment can support. It is influenced by various factors such as food, water, shelter, and space. Natural disasters (a natural factor) can destroy habitats and reduce carrying capacity. Human activities like deforestation (to build cities or for logging) or conservation efforts (creating wildlife reserves) can also change the carrying capacity of an area.

• Option A is incorrect because carrying capacity is not just about food and water but also includes other resources like shelter and space.
• Option C is wrong as habitat is the place where an organism lives, while carrying capacity is about the number of organisms the environment can support.
• Option D is incorrect because carrying capacity can change due to natural (e.g., droughts, floods) and human - induced (e.g., pollution, reforestation) changes.

Answer:

B. can be changed by nature or humans
