Question

The fish in the first bowl couldn't have baby after baby after baby forever. The bowl filled up with fish and many fish died. A bowl this size can only keep three fish alive. What is it called when an area/home/ecosystem has a limit to the number of living things that can live there?

Answer 1

Answer: Carrying capacity

Explanation:

The carrying capacity can be defined as the ability of an ecosystem to sustain a particular number of members of the population of species in terms of availing resources for survival.

According to the given situation, the fish bowl is an ecosystem which can only sustain a particular number of fishes. Thus, the increase in the population of baby fishes was not supported by the fish bowl.
