Question

Identify the graph that represents the growth of a population that has reached the carrying capacity of its habitat.Identify the graph that represents the growth of a population that has reached the carrying capacity of its habitat.

Answer 1

The third one represents the growth of a population that has reached the carrying capacity of its habitat

Answer 2

Answer: Graph 3

Step-by-step explanation:

• Carrying capacity is the capacity of the environment to support a number of individuals of a population based on the availability of natural resources. Since each environment has limited resources, the population cannot surpass the carrying capacity.
• Thus, the environment can only sustain a given number of individuals as its carrying capacity depends on the limiting factor.
• When the population size reaches the carrying capacity, then the growth rate of the population becomes zero.
• Therefore, graph 3 is the most suitable.
