There is a limit to available resources and all organisms in an ecosystem compete for those resources. Those that are better adapted, will obtain higher amounts of those resources leaving less for those that do not have the best abilities. These organisms that did not obtain all the resources they needed will die therefore controlling population growth.

What effects do predation competition and crowding and stress have on population?
Predation can decrease a population by directly killing individuals. Competition for resources can limit population growth by reducing access to food, mates, or other necessities. Crowding and stress can also limit population growth by increasing competition, reducing reproductive success, and weakening immune systems, making individuals more vulnerable to disease.
What does intraspecific competition do to population growth?
If members of the same species are competing for limited resources, then each individual would receive fewer resources when the population size of intraspecific competitors increases. Fewer resources per individual will(1) decrease the growth rates of individuals,(2) increase the chance that individuals die of starvation(3) decrease the number of offspring that a female can produce.
How can ecological competition be modeled?
Competition also can be modeled by examining resources rather than population growth equations.
What is a density-dependent limiting factor A.Tornado B.unusual weather C.human activities D.competition?
Density-dependent limiting factors are factors that limit a population's growth based on its density. Competition falls under this category because as population density increases, individuals must compete more intensely for resources like food, water, and space, which can limit population growth. Tornadoes, unusual weather, and human activities are not density-dependent factors as they do not directly depend on the density of the population.
How do interactions between organisms influence populations size?
Interactions between organisms can impact population size through competition for resources, predation, disease transmission, and mutualistic relationships. For example, competition can reduce available resources, leading to a decrease in population size. Predation can also directly affect population size by reducing the number of individuals in a population. On the other hand, mutualistic relationships can benefit population growth by providing advantages such as enhanced resource availability or protection from predators.

What factors limit the growth of population?
Population growth is limited by the ability of the natural environment to sustain it. It can be limited by food shortages or a lack of shelter. Disease outbreaks can also limit population growth.
What is a density dependant limitation on population growth?
competition
What causes population growth to slow down?
Competition for resources
A model of population growth that assumes that finite resource levels limit population growth?

HOW CAN FOOD AND WATER LIMIT POPULATION GROWTH?
DADDY
What limits population growth?
Shorter life expectancy, incurable disease, over population and not enough food can limit population growth
How can competition limit a population growth?
what is carrying capacity?
How do competition can limit population size?
They kill and harm eachother, thus decreasing population. Hope that helps :)

How does competition affect population growth?
people need more land
A population is growing exponentially. What can you conclude?
There is no competition for resources is the correct answer for Apex
