Circle the letter of the correct answer.1. A rabbit population is near the carryingcapacity of its ecosystem. If the populationdensity of rabbits in an area were to increase,what direct effect would it most likely have?3. An insect population feeds almost exclusivelyon a single species of plant. The carryingcapacity of the insect population is dependentprimarily on food availability. Recently, a firedestroyed 80% of the plants that the insectsfeed upon. By what factor will the carryingcapacity change?A. There would be more food available to therabbits.B. The rabbit population would die offimmediately.А.0.2В. 0.8C. The rabbits would have greater competitionfor resources.С.22. Engineers are working to develop a new kindof artificial knee, which is used to replacedamaged knees. Which of these would be4.

Read each situation in the chart below. Then, state if it is a density-independent limiting factor or a density-dependent limiting factor. Then, state the specific limiting factor that is occurring. The first one is done for you as an example. SITUATION Dependent - Independent or Density-Dependent Limiting Factor Mrs. Engelbrecht has 32 students assigned to her Biology Class, but she only has room for 28. Because the room is crowded, the extra 4 students leave room to go to Guidance and have their schedules changed. Density- Dependent Emigration Northern pike (it’s a fish) feed on another fish, the yellow perch. An increase in the yellow perch population causes an increase in the northern pike population.
