  1. Interactions with the Environment Most living things produce more offspring then will survive. An organism interacts with abiotic and biotic factors that can control the size of it’s population. This Presentation is created by: Brock, Trenton, Hannah

  2. Limiting Factors Populations can’t grow indefinitely because the environment only contains a certain amount of food, water, living spaces, and other recourses. When one resource has very little of it left, it is a limiting factor. This flower isn't big enough for the two of us!

  3. Limiting Factors (example) An example of a limiting factor is food. When food becomes low in a big population, it becomes a problem. There isn't enough food for all of the animals in the population, they have to fight over who gets what. Any single resource is a limiting factor.

  4. Carrying Capacity Carrying capacity is the largest population that a given environment can support over a long period of time. When a population grows larger than its carrying capacity, the limiting factors will grow scarce.

  5. Carrying Capacity(example) An example of carrying capacity is leaves and seeds. This may cause a herbivore population to go flying up because there are a lot of plants. The rest of the population would go down because the herbivores would be over populated. If the seeds and leaves stared to run out, the herbivore population would go down.
