LootAtTheTime:

They live on plant nectar when not producing eggs. All adult mosquitoes feed on the nectar or honey dew of plants to get sugar, and that provides enough nourishment for both males and females to live, but females also need to produce eggs. To create eggs, females need protein, which they get from the blood of animals.

LootAtTheTime:

So waht out of this would decrease their carrying capacity in the eco system?

katherine:

nectar or honey dew of plants to get sugar ?

LootAtTheTime:

Yeah, that's it so what would we have to do in order to decrease the carrying capacity for mosquitoes?

LootAtTheTime:

Just in case you need a definition The carrying capacity of a biological species in an environment is the maximum population size of the species that the environment can sustain indefinitely, given the food, habitat, water, and other necessities available in the environment.

katherine:

hmm...

katherine:

I'm kinda in a rush so...

LootAtTheTime:

Alright alright

LootAtTheTime:

xD

LootAtTheTime:

This might be a bit of a wild answer but here I go. If you take the flowers out of the eco system and humans out of their habitat you would indefinitely decrease the carrying capacity for the mosquito, both male and female mosquitoes need their fix of sugar to survive and in order to reproduce they need the protein from an animals blood. So factoring those two things out the sugar from flowers and the blood from animals you will indefinitely decrease the carrying capacity.

LootAtTheTime:

Did this help?

katherine:

So is that the answer?

katherine:

I need 2 answers, and you're writing me so many essay's that I'm just confused right now..
