Question

Imagine a grasshopper population that was nearly wiped out by a terrible storm. Immediately following this catastrophe, the grasshopper population exhibits exponential growth. Which one of the following statements about these grasshoppers is TRUE?

Group of answer choices

limiting factors in the environment increased

environmental resistance was reduced

the biotic potential of the grasshoppers decreased

the carrying capacity of the environment did not change

Answer 1

a) limiting factors in environment increased
as when resources increase population exhibit exponential growth,
b)environmental resistance is reduced.
When the environment stops affecting the growth of population then it keeps on increasing.
c) carrying capacity did not change.
The carrying capacity remains same as it was before a terrible storm wiped out the population of grasshoppers , so now until the grasshoppers population reach to maximum and resources start becoming limited it wil keep on increasing.
