Question

Which of the following should result in a population reaching its carrying capacity sooner?a. reducing intrinsic growth rate rb. increase the intrinsic growth rate rc. decreasing the carry capacity kd. increasing the carry capacity ke. increasing initial population size No

Answer 1

Answer:

b. increase the intrinsic growth rate

Explanation:

Increase in the intrinsic growth rate will result in a population reaching its carrying capacity sooner because population of organisms increases due to increase occur in intrinsic growth rate. Increase in intrinsic growth rate means more organisms are born as compared to death of that organism which results in increase population and with the increase in population, carrying capacity of that environment filled very soon..

Answer 2

Answer:
Increasing the intrinsic growth rate, r
Decreasing the carrying capacity, K
Increasing the initial population size, N_0
