What point on the graph represents the carrying capacity?

• A

• B

• C

• D

As a population grows, it will most likely stop growing at what size?

• Growth limit
• Exponential limit
• Carrying Capacity
• It won't stop growing

What is happening at the 'A' on the graph?

• the population overshoots above the carrying capacity

• the population stops growing

• growth begins to slow down due to limited resources

• growth is speeding up due to an abundance of resources
