Question

1. What is the carrying capacity? A) The maximum number of prey that a predator can consume per day. B) The minimum number of prey that a predator can consume. C) The maximum number of individuals of one species that a particular area can maintain. D) The minimum number of individuals of a single species required to maintain a viable population. E) The maximum weight capacity per unit area a herbivore can attain. 2. Based on the second law of thermodynamics we would predict that. A) there will be more predators than prey. B) there is no relationship between the number of predators and prey. C) the transfer of energy from prey to predator is not 100% efficient. D) the energy found in the prey can neither be created nor destroyed. E) All of the above are predicted by the second law of thermodynamics depending on the initial conditions. 3.
