Base your answer on the chart below and on your knowledge of biology. The chart shows seasonal changes in an ecosystem and the overall carrying capacity of the ecosystem. Explain what is meant by the carrying capacity of a particular population in an ecosystem.

The CARRYING CAPACITY of a particular population in an ecosystem is defined as the maximum population size that the environment can support indefinitely.

Explanation:

Population size is important as it affects the survival of a given species in a habitat. A small population may be easily wiped out by events such as fires, diseases, unfavorable climatic changes and so on. A large population stands a better chance of surviving dangers and unfavorable conditions.

The carrying capacity of a population in an ecosystem can show some changes due to the following factors:

--> migration of organisms to other habitats

--> invasion or colonization by new species and

--> increase or decrease in birth rates and death rates.

These factors operate during:

--> seasonal climatic changes,

--> changes in food availablity,

--> breeding periods and

--> unfavorable natural events such as fires and droughts.

the cladogram shown here shows similarities and differences among several classes of vertebrates. anatomically, the four have limb structure as their common ancestor. we might separate the mammals from the other three classes because they a) divergent; do not lay eggs b) identical; are warm-blooded c) varied; a four chambered heart d) homologous; have mammary glands

weathering - colorado river carves land in arizona to form the grand canyon. cracks form in a sandstone wall surrounding a house. a marble statue near the science museum is changing color due to rainfall

erosion - after a rainstorm, soil and rock piees litter the roadways. the sand dunes in the sahara desert are changing shape.

here's your answer.
