A resource whose availability limits the size of a population is a limiting factor. Food is a limiting factor when there is not enough food available to feed the entire population. Any resource can be a limiting factor for population size.
A population size decrease is the usual response in the population size of many species to a density-independent limiting factor. Not enough food is an example of a limiting factor.

Space is a limiting factor for a population because when the population starts growing then there won't be enough space for all the organisms so then some of the organisms have to leave that area and find a new habitat.
I don't know of water itself being a limiting factor but the supply of water can be, if there is not enough water for a population to live then it limits the growth of the population to a number which can be fed by the given supply of water.
A example of limiting factor is 10 lions may live in a habitat that has enough water and space to support 20 lions, but there is only enough food for10 lions. The population wouldn't get any larger. In this example food is the limiting factor.
No, because no natural population will ever approach a size large enough to consume all the air in the atmosphere.
beacuase they usally don't have any money to buy food.
All species have Limiting Factors. Limiting factors are things that keep an animals population down to its carrying compasity. Limiting factors are space, weather, and food. if there is not enough food animals will die and will not have offspring.Space is limited, without enough space disease spreads quickly and there is no room for nesting or reproducing. weather is a limiting factor because during bad weather, (floods, droughts, winter, etc.) animals will not reproduce, or have offspring, it can also kill off other organisms.
Climate,lack of shelter, sicknesses and parasites, food or water as well as the carrying capacity are examples of limiting factors.
It depends on the animal in question. A viable population will ensure that there are enough individuals to ensure the population will remain in a viable condition for a given period of time. Some scientists hold to the belief that a minimum viable population of 50-500 individuals will ensure the sustainment of the population over time.
the limiting factor varies between the magnesium and hydrochloric acid as there needs to be enough hydrogen for every magnesium..
