Question

question 20 2 pts 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 frog population would decrease by 200 frogs because of the individuals leaving the population. the carrying capacity for frogs in the ecosystem would increase by 200 frogs. the population 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.

Explanation:

Carrying capacity is the max population an ecosystem can sustain. Current frog population is at carrying capacity (1000). Adding 200 exceeds it, leading to limited resources, increased predation, or disease, causing population decrease.

Answer:

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