CARRYING
CAPACITY
With Ms. Kristine
 Study the picture.

The boat’s capacity is only 20 persons but 30

insist to have a ride. What do you think will
happen to boat A? boat B? Which boat considered
it carrying capacity?
Study the graph.
 EXPLAIN
1. Which of the two curves exhibits
exponential growth?

2. Which of the two curves exhibits a carrying

capacity?

3. What is the carrying capacity of this

graph?

4. What generation does this population reach

the carrying capacity?
ELABORATE
What is Carrying Capacity?

The maximum population size that an

ecosystem can support.

What the two models of Population Growth?

Exponential Growth and Logistic Growth

What is the Exponential Growth?

it refers to a constant increase in the

number of populations. When resources are
unlimited, population. exhibit exponential
growth, resulting in a J-shaped curve.
What is the Logistic Growth?

a population growth in which the growth

rate decreases with increasing number of
organisms, until it becomes zero when the
population reaches it’s carrying capacity.
When resources are limited, populations
exhibit logistic growth resulting in a S-
shaped curve.
 Evaluation
There are always limits to population growth in an area. Populations
cannot grow exponentially forever. 1. (Increasing, Decreasing) population
always reach a size limit brought by the shortage of one or more factors
such as space, water, nutrients or by adverse conditions such as disease,
drought, and extreme weather conditions. As the population size 2.
(increases, decreases) the demand for resources also 3. (increases,
decreases). The maximum population size that an ecosystem can support is
called 4. (carrying capacity, limiting capacity) that depends on biotic and
abiotic factors. Natural disasters like typhoon and earthquake can destroy
resources in an ecosystem. If this happens, the ecosystem will not be able
to support a large population. This causes the carrying capacity to 5.
(increase, decrease).
