If an entire Kookaburra population dies, the lizard and rat population on which it preys will grow to the environment’s _______________________________?

Answer 1

What do you think it is? Why or why not? It would be easier to tutor you if you explained what about the question is giving you trouble.

Answer 2

parameters i dunno what

Answer 3

obviously the preys populaces will go mental and augment

Answer 4

but "will grow to the environment's" what? borders? overrun the place???

Answer 5

if it just said "what'll happen to the little mice" or something thats easy, but whats the deal with the environment

Answer 6

\(\bigstar\) Patience & Pondering is the key to learn science

Answer 7

Now since the predators are dead !
Prey population will increase explosively.

Answer 8

Now think !
Environment is like a jar...which have some capacity !
U can fill it upto a fixed maximum amount. It can carry only a fixed amount of something

Answer 9

And that maximum amount a nature can carry for a species is called as "Carrying Capacity"

Answer 10

and then it will overflow

Answer 11

got it ?

Answer 12

yeah ish

Answer 13

i know that a environment can only support so much (which depends entirely on the specifics and resources of the environment and what lives in it as well as seasonal business)

Answer 14

and i know that if you take mr mean lion out of the food chain then happy little gazell populations can rise

Answer 15

so what youre saying is that if all the birds die than the rat and lizard populations will grow to the maximum allowed population called the environments carry capacity before the cycle starts all over again (the cycle being lots of predators eat all food source no more food source no more predators lots of food source.....)

Answer 16

ye-ye?

Answer 17

so: If an entire Kookaburra population dies, the lizard and rat population on which it preys will grow to the environment’s carrying capacity.

Answer 18

Answer 19
