Question

after observing the flowers and bees in her garden, a scientist hypothesized that as new flowers bloomed on her rosebush, there would also be an increase in the amount of bees. to test her hypothesis, she recorded the flower and bee population sizes in her garden for 10 weeks during the spring. the averages from her data are displayed in the graph below. bee and flower population the graph provides evidence for which of the following? when flower populations increase, the carrying capacity for bees also increases. when flower biodiversity increases, the carrying capacity for bees also increases. when flower populations increase, the carrying capacity for bees decreases. when flower biodiversity increases, the carrying capacity for bees increases.

Explanation:

Carrying capacity is the maximum number of individuals of a species that an environment can support. In the context of bees and flowers, more flower biodiversity or population likely means more resources (nectar, pollen etc.) for bees. So, when flower - related factors increase, the environment can support more bees, increasing the carrying capacity for bees.

Answer:

When flower populations increase, the carrying capacity for bees also increases.
