if there was a lot os one type of fish that ate other fish they would effect the carrying capacity.

The passenger pigeon went extinct because our hunting people killed them all. Our carrying capacity made them all DIE.

An example of how carrying capacity effect organisms and its environment, The more of a horses population the faster the grass will go away and it will be harder to grow.

Littering can effect the environment because many people do it.

Carrying Capacity can affect an organism because if one species eats to much fruit then when apple orchard customers see that their isn't a lot of fruit their for people to pick and people don't get their nutrition. If people can't get their nutrition people can't be healthy which could make our population size go down

Organism:Fish
They things that can effect is are like not many fish die so there is not much food for others to eat.There could be too much fishing or some fish are eating all the other fish.

Say if you have two dogs and one cat. The owner only can have 3 animals which is the carrying capacity. If one of the dogs has babies then that is over the carrying capacity. The mother dog needs more food then the other two animals which means it takes away the food that the animals eat and if they don't eat they could die. This is a example of Carrying capacity.

If something is to populated it can eat everything and leave nothing for the other animals and they will all die.

An example of how Carrying Capacity can affect an organism and its environment is a Giraffe that eats to much plants off trees.When the plants are all of the trees there is no food for the Giraffe.There is also no place for Grey Squirrels to live.

An example of how carrying capacity can affect an organism and its environment are chinchillas. The human population is growing, which means that the consumption of natural resources. When a person cannot seem to find the resources, they go to places where different varieties of organisms live, which in this case is chinchillas. Chinchillas may go extinct because of the human population.

if the organisms get too big of a population then the carrying capasity could result in death for all of the animals there

If one fish ate two many other fish and food. It would mess up the carrying capacity and ruin our ecosystem

An example is goats, the more goats there are the faster the grass/goat food will go away.

well if an iguana eats to many bugs the bugs will have no time to reproduce and the iguana will die because of no food.

The dear are being killed more every day because e we are cutting the woods down and people hunt all the time for them when there are not post to.

Abigail N said...

If the organism eats the food at a steady rate the caring capacity will stay the same. If the population increases but the food does not and the population will start to die out.

Kylie M. said...

When people go out they kill deer.

emily said...

With a fish, if there is to many of them then some will die because there will be no food.

Because there could be so many of that fish they were talking about in the video, that they would have to eat poop and not flies.

if a bass eats to much they will reproduce more

Cows eat grass so the more cows we have the less grass we have.

pigs

Lauren Pride said...

With deer if you have too many of them they will eat all the food in the area so there is not enough for the future generations.

another one is insects they will do the same thing as deer.

j said...

pigs can eat alout

Lizzy said...

The population of deer is very high so they make hunting seasons to cut down the population so the don't over populate but if deer hunting was all year long the deer population will existent.

If a population of fish is very high in a small body of water the carrying capacity wouldn't be to big. If the pond dried up all the fish would die. Birds wouldn't have that much food. Thats bad.

Deer can eat too much of the food now, and the later genoration won't have food.

TROUT FISH

If a population of bears is very good. But, when people start to hunt for them, they will die, and if the bears don't have cubs, the bear population will decrease, and become extinct.

It can spread diseases quickly, killing, or making the thing sick, the environment can be effected by losing what keeps the creatures alive!

shawn Rebel said...

if a one type animal population gets to big it over its carring copaside

Lily🐬 said...

If one animal ate another one it would bring down the population.

If we had so too much monkeys there wouldent be enough bannanas

Anonymous said...

If there is too much humans they might eat all the food and use all the resources the population will drop.

Raven Da Wolfie said...

If there are a lot of the same species a lot of food and a lot of things would be gone in order for them to live

kill for resources

Ryan R said...

lets say there's a colony of ants let's say they a bee colony as the bees harvest pollen and ants like to eat pollen the ants will lose that resources lets ay the were forced to kill the bee colony for food the colony was slain and eaten the ants have not collected enough food for the winter and most starved only a few survived.

overcrowding of a fish tank. Fish starve because they run out of food, get poisoned by their own waste, or sometimes eaten by the other fish.

these wonderful thoughts are brought to you by Alanah. your welcome for the wonderful
