Answer:

Option A, An area of a desert can support a population of 320 cactus plants

Explanation:

The carrying capacity of an ecosystem is the maximum number of organism that can live with in it thereby utilizing its resources and doesn't cause any harm to the ecosystem.

Here in the given options, Option C and D are irrelevant as they do not talk any thing about the ecosystem's carrying capacity.

In Option B, it is said that 1500 bird species currently live in tropical rain forest, but there might be a case where forest has enough resources to allow more birds over and above the current 1500. Thus 1500, is just the present population of bird in the forest and not its carrying capacity

What specialized structures does crayfish have that make it well suited to its environment​
Zinaida [17]
Crayfish are invertebrates which means they don't have a backbone. They are also arthropods, which means that they have a protective exoskeleton on the outside of their body. Other arthropods include insects, spiders, and centipedes. Crayfish continually shed their exoskeleton and regrow a new one. During this transition is when they are most vulnerable to predators because they aren't protected by their outer shell.

Crayfish are found all over the world in many different freshwater environments, such as rivers, creeks, springs, and swamps. But this doesn't necessarily mean that you will be able to find them. They are somewhat cryptic because they dig out homes for themselves under rocks and blend in well with their environment. Crayfish will ardently defend this dwelling against intruders using their strong front claws
