Question 8 • Science 7 B (M12 25/26 S2)
A plant-eating animal population is limited when it has less food, faces more predators, or suffers from disease. A spring freeze that kills plants and a disease affecting plants reduce the animals’ food supply; more predators and a harmful disease among the animals also reduce their population. By contrast, fewer predators and more plants would generally help the population grow.
