An insect population increases and then decreases as the food supply changes.

which activity does this demonstrate?

self-regulation

uncontrolled population explosion

self-restoration

unchecked exponential growth

Explanation:

A self-regulated organism takes measures to balance its own survival with the scarce resources that the enviroment offers. In this case, the insect population is self-regulating because it is responding to changes in the food supply, and adapts itself accordingly.
