Question

mid-term review
fluctuations in carrying capacity can happen due to factors like changes in food supply, habitat loss, disease outbreaks, and shifts in environmental conditions.

what is environmental resistance?
aerodynamic drag birds experience during high speed flight
how difficult a particular environment is to be colonized by humans
factors in the environment that limit the growth of a species population
resistance of humans to change in their lives

Explanation:

Environmental resistance refers to biotic (e.g., competition, predation) and abiotic (e.g., food scarcity, habitat loss) factors that restrict a population's growth, aligning with the definition of limiting growth factors. The other options are unrelated: aerodynamic drag is physical, human colonization difficulty is not population growth-focused, and human resistance to change is behavioral.

Answer:

factors in the environment that limit the growth of a species population
