"The maximum population of a given species that a particular habitat can sustain indefinitely without being degraded" is the definition of
A)logistic growth
B)environmental resistance
C)exponential growth
D)carrying capacity
E)biotic potential

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The definition given corresponds to the term "carrying capacity". Logistic growth is a type of population growth where population growth rate decreases as the population reaches carrying capacity. Environmental resistance refers to factors that limit population growth, such as availability of resources or disease. Exponential growth is a type of population growth where the population increases at a constant rate over time. Biotic potential refers to the maximum reproductive capacity of a species under ideal conditions.
