To determine the carrying capacity of the flask for rotifers in the presence of water fleas, we would need to analyze the graph mentioned. However, since I can't see the graph itself, I can offer some guidance on how to interpret typical scenarios.
In ecological terms, the carrying capacity is the maximum population size of a species that an environment can sustain indefinitely without being degraded. In a graph showing population dynamics, the carrying capacity is often represented by a horizontal line where the population levels off after initial growth phases due to limiting factors.
If you are looking at a specific graph, look for the point where the rotifer population stabilizes despite the continued presence of water fleas. If there is a clear line where the population doesn't increase anymore, that would define the carrying capacity.
Based on the answer choices you've provided, if the graph shows rotifers leveling off around a population size of 1,800 or 4,200, then that would be your answer. If this is a multiple choice question, consider the highest stabilized value given in the options as the carrying capacity unless the graph indicates otherwise.
If you need further clarification, you could describe the trends you're seeing on the graph, and I can assist you in interpreting it.
