The carrying capacity (K) is the maximum population size that can be supported or sustained by a given environment. Which of the following statements about the carrying capacity is NOT true?
a. When a population overshoots K, individuals die due to lack of resources.
b. Once a population reaches its carrying capacity, the size of the population remains constant.
c. Environmental fluctuations cause the carrying capacity to fluctuate over time.
d. We can think of K as some "average" value that a given environment can support.
Homework Answers
B) once a population reaches its carrying capacity, the size of the population remains constant.
The population will decreases due to lack of sources like food, shelter etc.
As carrying capacity is the maximum number of individuals which can survive in the environment and have enough sources for their survival.

Which statement about carrying capacity is false? A. Per capita growth rate is negative when the population is below the carrying capacity. B. At carrying capacity, r = 0 and populations stop growing. C. Carrying capacity is the number of individuals that the environment can support indefinitely. D. Technology has increased Earth's carrying capacity for humans. E. The carrying capacity of a particular environment can fluctuate over time.

Exercise 4: Assume that a population is governed by a logistic equation with carrying capacity K intrinsic growth rate r, and initial population size K is subjected to constant effort harvesting: (a) Determine the population size, N(t) (b) Verify that if E< r, the population size will approach the positive steady state, Ni, the carrying capacity K if Erand if E>r, the population will approach the zero steady state, No, astoo. (c) Find the maximum sustainable yield of the population.

Technological advances have increased the human carrying capacity (K), while changes in environmental conditions can decrease K. True or false? The carrying capacity of the human population is difficult to determine because it depends on the standard of living we expect for all people. True or False ?
