There are only so many available resources such as food, territory, predators (to help control the number so it does not get out of hand, and for sessile organisms a limited amount of rocks.

How does the availability of resources affect whether a population's growth is exponential or logistic?
If resources are limitless than a population's growth will be exponential. Growth will be logistic in cases where there are limited resources. As the population grows closer to the logistical limit, the overall growth will slow.
What factor limits the growth of the prey population?
T amount of available food and the population of carnivours
How does competition limit a population growth?
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.
How do parasites serve as a density dependent limiting factor?
Parasites can limit the growth of a population. They take nourishment from their hosts, often weakening them and causing disease or death. As the population of parasites grow, the population of their hosts tend to decrease.
Is there a limit to how small a living cell could be and what factors would contribute to this limit?

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 most likely to limit human population growth-?

How is population growth determined?
it depends on which growth rate you are talking about
What are 3 examples of density independent factors that could limit the growth population of bats living in a cave?
