Question
if the number of predators in an area increases, what will happen to the carrying capacity? it increases it decreases
Brief Explanations
Carrying capacity is the maximum population size an environment can sustain. Predators consume prey, so more predators mean more pressure on prey populations. This reduces the resources (like food) available for the prey species, lowering the environment's ability to support the prey population, thus decreasing the carrying capacity for the prey.
