Carrying capacity is the maximum number of individuals an environment can support for a long period of time. What might happen when a population grows larger than the carrying capacity of the land? A. Nothing should happen to the population or the ecosystem it lives in. B. The population will eventually learn to use other resources. C. The population uses up its resources faster than they are replenished. D. The population improves the dynamics of the local ecosystem.

How is carrying capacity limited by resource availability? A. The number of resources in an ecosystem determines how many organisms can survive there. B. Ecosystems make more resources based on the number of organisms in it. C. If a resource isn't available in an ecosystem then the carrying capacity grows to support it.
