An ecosystem provided us with food we ate for breakfast. Think about the wheat in the cereal or about another product that you ate. What did humans need in order to grow that product?-nutrients, sunlight, soil, time, fossil fuels10. In a grammatically correct sentence(s), describe one regulating and one supporting service for each of which was necessary for the production of the breakfast product in #9.-includes soil, plant growth, water, nutrients, pollination11. What does the stream do for plants on its banks?-stream feeds the plants with nutrients from the water12. How do the plants on the bank impact organisms in the stream?-organisms from the stream use the plants as a habitat and provide shade13.

From #18, describe how the scenario impacts or is impacted by rates in or out of the human population.-disease would cause over abundance in death rates and most likely prevention of birth rates25. What are factors that would create growth in a group of wolves?-food, habitat, hunting, climate, humans26. In biological systems the upper limit that a population can reach in its ecosystem is called carrying capacity. This is also a system archetype called _______ to ______.-limits to growth27. The loops that close the cause and effect relationship between a condition and its growing or slowing action is called ______ loops.-feedback28. Draw a causal loop of a wolf population.29.
