Question
which determines carrying capacity?
logistic factors
exponential growth
population growth
limiting factors
Carrying capacity is the maximum number of individuals of a species that an environment can support. Limiting factors (such as food, water, space, predators, etc.) restrict population growth and determine this maximum number. Logistic factors are related to the logistic growth model which incorporates carrying capacity but do not determine it. Exponential growth is a pattern of growth without considering limits (so no relation to carrying capacity determination). Population growth is a general term and does not specifically determine carrying capacity.
