The carrying capacity of an ecosystem describes the maximum number of organisms that can be supported by the water, food, shelter, etc., that is available in that ecosystem. what will be the most likely result if an ecosystem tries to exceed its carrying capacity? a. more houses will be built to shelter people. b. the birth rate will increase. c. the death rate will increase. d. more food will be grown to meet the demand.

The correct answer choice would be C.) The death rate will increase. As the ecosystem's carrying capacity has been reached, more and more pressure is placed on the supplies the ecosystem can supply, eventually causing a collapse, which causes death rates to skyrocket. Hope this helped!

The answer would be C

i just took the test :)

interphase

the period of cell growth when the cell synthesizes new molecules and organelles. the cell is not dividing and it constitutes the majority of the time spent in the cell cycle

prophase

changes occur in the nucleus and cytoplasm. the chromatin condenses to form structures (sister chromatids) visible with a light microscope and the mitotic spindle begins to form, but the nucleus is still in tact

prometaphase

the nuclear envelope fragments and the spindle microtubules attach to the kinetochores of the sister chromatids

metaphase

all the cell's duplicated chromosomes are lined up at an imaginary plane equidistant between the poles of the mitotic spindle

anaphase

begins when sister chromatids separate from each other and ending when a complete set of daughter chromosomes arrives at each of the two poles of the cell

telophase

the daughter nuclei form at the two poles of a cell

cytokinesis

the division of a cytoplasm to form two separate daughter cells. usually occurs during telophase during mitosis. this and mitosis make up to mitotic (m) phase of the cell cycle
