| What is a limiting factor/why do we need it? | A limiting factor is anything that keeps the amount of individuals at a certain amount. Without limiting factors many of the individuals in/per population will go crazy. |
| What is a carrying capacity? | A carrying capcity is the maximum number of creatures in a certain species. This is to support the ecosytems maximum capcity. |
| What is a symbiosis/what are the 3 types? | A symbiosis is the/a close relationship to some species. This is a trusted bond between two or more species. Their are commensalism, mutualism, and parasitism. |
