Students have asked these similar questions
A population’s ecological footprint is measured in terms of:
a
how many resources the population uses.
b
how much land area is needed to support its lifestyle.
c
the amount of waste/pollution it produces.
d
the number of people who live there.
The number of individuals that occur per unit area is calleda. populationb. population growth.c. carrying capacity.d. population density
When discussing population size, we are referring to
a.
the total number of individuals in a population.
b.
the size of the geographic region in which a population is found.
c.
the number of individuals in a population divided by the area of the region covered by the population.
d.
the number of individuals in a population multiplied by the area of the region covered by the population.
e.
the specific type of environment in which a population can exist.

A. Density-dependent factors are more harmful. B. Density-independent factors affect the population despite the density. C. Density-independent factors are more harmful.arrow_forward
- The carrying capacity (K) is the maximum population size that can be supported or sustained by a given environment. Which of the following statements about the carrying capacity is NOT true? Select one: a. We can think of K as some "average" value that a given environment can support. b. Environmental fluctuations cause the carrying capacity to fluctuate over time. c. Once a population reaches its carrying capacity, the size of the population remains constant. d.

- Find a reference to the carrying capacity of Earth (for humans). It needs to be some estimate of the number of people that scientists estimate the earth can support. Note: this is NOT an estimate of what the population will be in the future; but rather what the earth is predicted to be able to support. BE CREATIVE and search more than one source. You will not receive credit if your summary covers the fırst article I see when I google this topic. In Canvas provide: • The estimated carrying capacity • Group/researcher who reported this estimate • How the group/researcher estimated carrying capacity (what variables were used) • Whether you think this is a reasonable estimate, and why or why not.
