To solve the problem of matching each term to its description, let's analyze each term one by one along with its possible definitions.
1. Global capacity:
- Definition D) "Maximum number of species Earth can support" best fits the term “Global capacity” because it refers to the theoretical upper limit of species that can be sustained on Earth.
2. Life expectancy:
- Definition A) "Measure of the average time an organism is predicted to live" is the most appropriate for "Life expectancy" as it directly refers to the expected lifespan of an organism.
3. Mortality rate:
- Definition B) "Number of deaths per 1,000 humans" clearly fits "Mortality rate" since mortality rate is typically measured by the number of deaths in a given population size (usually per 1,000 individuals).
4. Overpopulation:
- Definition C) "When the number of individuals is too large that it cannot be sustained by its environment" aligns well with "Overpopulation," as overpopulation describes a situation where the population exceeds the sustainable capacity of its environment.
Combining all these points, the matches are as follows:
[tex]\[
\begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|}
\hline Match & Term & Definition \\
\hline 1 & Global capacity & \begin{tabular}{l}
D) Maximum number of species Earth \\
can support
\end{tabular} \\
\hline 2 & Life expectancy & \begin{tabular}{l}
A) Measure of the average time an \\
organism is predicted to live
\end{tabular} \\
\hline 3 & Mortality rate & \begin{tabular}{l}
B) Number of deaths per 1,000 humans
\end{tabular} \\
\hline 4 & Overpopulation & \begin{tabular}{l}
C) When the number of individuals is too \\
large that it cannot be sustained by its \\
environment
\end{tabular} \\
\hline
\end{tabular}
\][/tex]
In summary:
- Global capacity matches with Definition D.
- Life expectancy matches with Definition A.
- Mortality rate matches with Definition B.
- Overpopulation matches with Definition C.
