What are things that prevent a population from growing any larger?

Resources, such as food would need to keep up with the popu;ation growth. Also, predators that feed off the population would find their food supply increasing and would grow in numbers and that would provide a negative feedback.

For example, if a single bacterium were placed in a petri dish and was given unlimited resources, it would multiply to cover the entire world within several days.
Unfortunately, resources are limited, so populations are too.
I hope this helps.

Other factors include: Death Rate, Birth Rate, Carrying Capacity, Predation

When there are very little resources for the species like food, sometimes it is because their is no variation in the organisms.

people is stopping populations from increasing. People to serious damage to ecosystems like poluting the air or throwing garbage everywhere.

What is the difference between growing and developing?
The difference between growing and developing is that when you grow, your body becomes larger and developing is when you become more advanced in things, like you get more smarter or you learn more things.
Do things with larger masses have larger velcities?
The question "Do things with larger masses have larger velocities?", by itself, is meaningless, as you did not provide enough information. Things with larger masses do require more force to accelerate them than things with smaller masses. Things with larger masses do have more kinetic energy than things with smaller masses for the same velocity.
Fingerprints are caused by?
Finger prints are made by dermal ridges on the fingers. You also have much larger ridges on the palms of the hand. They prevent slipping while you are holding on to things.

How do extremely high elevations appear to affect population density?
Population is generally sparse at extremely high elevations. One reason is the severity of weather up there. Another reason is the difficulty of doing things required in order to sustain a community, such as growing food and breathing.
What biotic factors can prevent dandelions from growing?

What is different about US and china?
china has a larger population so that helps the economy and other things.
What is the defference between growth and development?
Think of growth as getting larger and larger and development as to growing and adding things on or creating. For example, if the stomach is growing, then it is getting larger and larger. If it is developing, then it is growing as well as being created.
Does larger things have smaller volume?
No. Larger things usually have larger volumes.
