B) The growth rate decreases because not all butterflies will be nourished enough because of lack of supplies for the growing colony

Situation explanation:

So, the maximum capacity of monarch butterfly individuals that can live in the meadow is 5000. That means that the 20-butterfly population will continue growing (reproducing) until it reaches 5000.

Answer explanation:

If the population were to grow exponentially, there wouldn't be an end and the 5000-limit would not be respected.

If the population were to grow logistically, the end of the growth would be the same as the limit, which means that the 5000-limit would be respected.

--> Therefore, the only possible answer is D, which states that the population will reach 5000 and after that the growth will stabilise (exactly what would hapen in a logistic growth).

Hope it helped,

In your own words, describe the Gaia hypothesis.
Anastaziya [24]
The Gaia hypothesis, named after the ancient Greek goddess of the Earth, asserts that the Earth and its biological processes function as a single, massive organism. This organism has tightly controlled self-regulatory negative feedback loops that keep the planet's circumstances within life-friendly bounds.

What happens when oceanic crust collides with continental crust at plate boundary
Ne4ueva [31]

Explanation:

When oceanic crust converges with continental crust, the denser oceanic plate plunges beneath the continental plate. This process, called subduction, occurs at the oceanic trenches. The entire region is known as a subduction zone. Subduction zones have a lot of intense earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
