C. Science Concept
A balanced ecosystem is one in which all living and nonliving things are interacting successfully.if any part
of the ecosystem is disturbed, other parts will also be disturbed.
A population density is the number of individuals per unit area.
limiting factors are anything that limits the size of a population like certain environmental conditions.
Carrying capacity is the the maximum population size an environment can support
The different factors of affecting population growth and size are the availability of food, water, living
conditions, light temperature and soil nutrients.
