Question

11 multiple answer 1 point which of the following would increase the carrying capacity of a squirrel population? more competitors habitat destruction less predators a drought more nuts

Explanation:

• "More competitors" would increase competition for resources, reducing the carrying capacity.
• "Habitat destruction" reduces available living space and resources, lowering carrying capacity.
• "Less predators" means fewer squirrels are killed, allowing the population to grow, thus increasing carrying capacity.
• "A drought" reduces water and food (like nuts) availability, lowering carrying capacity.
• "More nuts" provides more food, supporting a larger population, increasing carrying capacity.

Answer:

C. less predators, E. more nuts
