Answer;

The above statement is false

The total number of organisms an ecosystem can support is its carrying capacity.

Step-by-step explanation;

-Carrying capacity is the average population density or population size of a species below which its numbers tend to increase and above which its numbers tend to decrease because of shortages of resources.

-For a given region, carrying capacity is the maximum number of individuals of a given species that an area's resources can sustain indefinitely without significantly depleting or degrading those resources.

The carrying capacity is different for each species. in a habitat because of that species’ particular food, shelter, and social requirements.
