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. |
