Answer: E. The population size will drop until the numbers reach the carrying capacity.

A carrying capacity of the ecosystem is the number of individuals in the population of species a ecosystem can sustain on the basis of availability of resources (food, shelter). Conservationists established that the carrying capacity of a population of deer in an extensive geographical area is 945 which increased to 1,100. This sudden increase in the population of deer, will result in depletion of resources, hence, carrying capacity of the ecosystem cannot sustain increased members of the population. Therefore, the population size will drop until the numbers reach the carrying capacity.

The correct option is E.
The carrying capacity of a biological specie in an ecosystem refers to the maximum population size of the specie that the environment can sustain indefinitely given all the resources that are available in the environment. When the number of living organism in an ecosystem is above the carrying capacity, the number of death among the specie will increase until the carrying capacity is reached.

muminat

More rainfall leads to the growth of the grass in a tallgrass prairie to grow so tall.

Answer: Option B.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The tallgrass prairie consists of big and little blue stem, switchgrass, and Indian grass. These were the species which thrive in the area which receive rainfall in large amount. The rainfall in these areas are in the amount of 30-40 inch annual precipitation.

Because these areas receive rainfall in such high amount, the grasses grow very tall. The height of these grasses reach to approximately 6-8 feet in height.
