Use the graph to support your answers to the following questions. Part A Name one limiting factor that could affect this population of fruit flies. Part B At which point on the curve would this limiting factor have the greatest effect on the population? Explain your reasoning.

52. Copyright © by Holt, Rinehart and Winston. All rights reserved. ResourcesChapter menu Standardized Test Prep Chapter 19 Extended Response, continued Answer: Part A Food availability is one limiting factor that could affect population growth. Part B Food availability will affect the population at every point along the growth curve. Without food, the population could not experience unlimited growth as shown in area 2. However, food availability has its greatest effect at the carrying capacity, or area 3 on the curve. At the carrying capacity, the environment is supporting the maximum number of individuals based on available resources. Less food will lead to a sudden decrease in population.
