The Maximum Number of Individuals That a Habitat Can Support

Question

The maximum number of individuals that a habitat can support indefinitely is the habitat's
A) dispersion capacity.
B) carrying capacity.
C) density dispersion.
D) growth capacity.
E) environmental load.

Accepted Answer

Carrying capacity is defined as the maximum population size that a particular environment can sustain indefinitely. This is dependent on factors such as resource availability, environmental conditions, and interactions with other species. The other options (dispersion capacity, density dispersion, growth capacity, and environmental load) do not accurately describe the maximum number of individuals that a habitat can support indefinitely.
