Question
multiple-choice question if you exceed carrying capacity, ______ outnumber births. deaths emigration immigration rewatch
When a population exceeds its carrying capacity (the maximum number of individuals an environment can sustainably support), resources become limited. In such a situation, the death rate tends to increase because there isn't enough food, water, shelter, or other necessary resources to support all individuals. So deaths will outnumber births as the population tries to return to a level within the carrying capacity. Emigration is the movement of individuals out of a population, and immigration is the movement into a population. Exceeding carrying capacity is more directly related to the balance between births and deaths within the population (with deaths increasing when carrying capacity is exceeded) rather than emigration or immigration in the context of this basic population dynamics concept.
