Question

If you were to develop a measure of the approach to human carrying capacity, what would be the most complete description?

Question 13 options:

population growth rate plus resource use per person

population distribution times resource use per person

population growth rate times resource use per person

population distribution plus resources available per person

Answer 1

The correct option is C. population growth rate times resource use per person.

Step-by-step explanation:

Carrying capacity can be described as the maximum number of a population size that a particular habitat can hold. The habitat will have enough amount of resources for a specific population size. If the population size increases beyond this limit, then the organisms will start competing for resources and it might have devastating effects on an ecosystem.

Hence, carrying capacity can be described as population growth rate times the resources per person using.
