||||
| show | the maximum, equilibrium number of organisms of a particular species that can be supported indefinitely in a given environment. Abbreviation: K
🗑
|
||||
| show | Animals are called consumers. This is because they cannot make their own food, so they need to consume (eat) plants and/or animals.

🗑
|
||||
| show | a series of organisms interrelated in their feeding habits, the smallest being fed upon by a larger one, which in turn feeds a still larger one, etc.
🗑

🗑
|
||||

🗑
|
||||
