The correct answer is option a. true.
The fossil fuels, including coal and oil are present very deep inside the earth. In the carbon cycle, only fixation of atmospheric carbon dioxide in the organic material takes place. This cycle does not involve the recycling of the fossil fuels.
The burning of the fossil fuels directly release carbon dioxide and other carbon compound in the atmosphere, which was not involved in the cycle when it was present deep beneath the earth and ocean. Hence, the burning of fossil fuels increases the amount of carbon in the carbon cycle.
Answer:
It will remain relatively stable
Explanation:
<u>The carrying capacity (k) of an environment is a factor that represents the maximum number of organisms of a particular species such environment can support based on the resources it has. </u>
<em>Below the carrying capacity</em>, the population of a species still has the potential to increase due to resource availability, and <em>above the carrying capacity</em>, the population has the potential to reduce due to the overstretching of the available resources. Factors that keep the population from expanding significantly beyond the carrying capacity include competition for resources, natural disasters, disease outbreaks, etc.
<em>Hence, if a population is steady at its carrying capacity and a group of organisms from that species moves into the same space occupied by the original population, the carrying capacity will only increase temporarily before factors such as competition and natural disasters operate to bring the carrying capacity to the normal level. </em>
