competition between the prey is still occurring

predation has long lasting affects even when not present

competition is happening between the predator and the preys

The population numbers are not changing if predators are not there

the graph plateaus (becomes flat)

the graph increases rapidly

the graph declines slowly

you cannot tell on a graph

because the lynxes are eating them

because there are other factors effecting the population

because the lynxes can no longer help the hares survive

none of the above

Carrying Capacity

Average of population

The fox population increased because they did not reach their Carrying capacity.

The rabbit population stayed the same because the same number were born as were hunted

The fox population increase because there are plenty of rabbits to eat.

The fox population decreased, while the rabbit population increased.

The decrease of lynx led to an increase in the amount of hares.

The decrease of lynx led to a decrease in the hare population.

The hare population stayed the same.

Good conditions make resources plentiful.

Organisms struggle for a limited resource.

Members of a population have different roles.

A population falls below the environment’s carrying capacity.

the capacity of what one person can carry per day

how many animals you have in your daily bag limit at the end of the year

wildebeest at a watering hole with zebras

the maximum number of population size that the ecosystem can support

negative (decreasing)

positive (increasing)

cyclic (loss and gain in a repeating pattern)

no trend
