Question

9. A scientist is studying a group of rabbits in a field. Which three factors impact the ecosystem's carrying capacity for rabbits? (LS2.1 - 3 points)

A. types of rocks in the environment
B. total amount of food available
C. total habitat available
D. change in temperature from spring to fall
E. number of water sources present

Answer 1

Answer: B, C, and D.

Step-by-step explanation:

B, C, and D. The total amount of food available affects how many rabbits can survive and reproduce at once, while the total habitat available determines how many rabbits can be supported by the environment in total. The change in temperature from spring to fall impacts the availability of food sources, as well as the rabbits' ability to survive in the environment. The number of water sources present also affects the environment's carrying capacity for rabbits, as the rabbits need water to survive.
