Question

the population of adult frogs in a wetlands ecosystem has increased to 1000 individuals, which is its carrying capacity. the frogs eat flies and other small animals, and they are prey for raccoons, snakes, and a variety of large birds. which most likely would happen if an additional 200 adult frogs immigrated to the ecosystem?

the carrying capacity for frogs in the ecosystem would increase by 200 frogs.

the population of frogs would decrease because of limited resources, or by predation or disease.

the carrying capacity for frog predators in the ecosystem would increase by 200 individuals.

the frog population would decrease by 200 frogs because of the individuals leaving the population.

Explanation:

La capacidad de carga es el número máximo de individuos de una especie que un ecosistema puede sostener. Si la población de ranas adultas ya ha alcanzado la capacidad de carga (1000 individuos) y se agregan 200 ranas más, los recursos disponibles se agotarán más rápido. Esto puede llevar a una mayor competencia por los recursos, un aumento en la depredación debido a la mayor disponibilidad de presas y, eventualmente, una disminución en la población de ranas debido a limitaciones de recursos, depredación o enfermedad.

Answer:

The population of frogs would decrease because of limited resources, or by predation or disease.
