Competition among individuals for available food sources
So that the plant doesn't become extinct
Carrying capacity of an ecosystem is the defined as the largest population that it can sustain indefinitely with the available resources. Biologists also refer to carrying capacity as the “maximum load”. Carrying capacity has factors it depends on. These are the many abiotic and biotic factors in the ecosystem and some are more obvious than others. The most obvious being, the availability of the basic needs of organisms which make up the different ecosystems. Some of these are food, water and shelter in which dictate how many individuals the ecosystem can sustain.
Answer:
The correct option is 3
Explanation:
An experimental investigation would require an hypothesis, aim, methodology, results, discussion and conclusion.
The third option can be easily answered using the "requirements" above.
The hypothesis (null hypothesis) would be different types of grass do not affect how far a ball rolls
The aim would be to determine the effect of different types of grass on the movement of a ball
The methodology would involve identifying several playing grounds with different grasses and then rolling the ball with a constant force on the different grasses and then determining the eventual speed and distance traveled by the ball on those grasses which would serve as the results. Inferences can then be made from this results and then conclusions drawn subsequently.
