A nutrient that is scarce or cycle slowly through an ecosystem is called?
the substance is a limiting factor, but im not sure at all__________________________________________orLimiting nutrient- single nutrient that either is scarce or cycles very slowly, limiting the growth of organisms in an ecosystem.
When is a substance called a limiting nutrient?
This is a substance that is limited in nutrient. An example is when a limiting nutrient is supplied in large amounts, it acts as a fertilizer causing algae to bloom.
If a nutrient is in short supply in an ecosystem how will it affect an organism?
Nutrients are essential for us to live. Without them, we would eventually die. When we are short of a nutrient, we would suffer from disorders associated with low intakes of that nutrient. For example, low iron intakes may mea one becomes anemic; low intakes of vitamin C can result in scurvy; and low intakes of vitamin D can result in rickets during development stages for children. Each nutrient has its deficiency. So, by eating a variety of foods to get all of the nutrients means we are getting what we need to stay healthy.
Compare the typical limiting nutrient in saltwater and freshwater environments?
Phosphorus is the typical nutrient in freshwater, while nitrogen is the typical nutrient in saltwater.
12 A given species of bacteria is known to require 100 different nutrients 99 of these are in optimum quantities but one is limited You would expect that population growth would be?
limited by the quantity of that nutrient - its the limiting stepthe actually rate of growth depends on the relationship between tha nutrient and the growth rate if its a linear relationship then growth rate = k[Nutrient]
When an ecosystem is limited by a single nutrient?
a limiting nutrient

What is a limiting factor and how does it affect an ecosystem?
It is a limiting nutrient limited by a single nutrient in the ecosystem, & the single goes very slow.
What is meant by nutrient limitation?
When an ecosystem is limited by a single nutrient that is scarce or cycles very slowly, this substance is called a limiting nutrient.
When an ecosystem is limited by a single nutrient that either is scarce or cycled very slowly this substance is called?
limiting nutrient
When an ecosystem is limited by a single nutrient that either is scarce or cycle very slowly this substance is called a?
limiting nutrient
What is nitrogen's limiting nutrient?
In Ecology, limiting nutrients are compounds that affect growth or success of a population. One such nutrient, found in marine ecosystems, is nitrogen. Nitrogen IS the limiting nutrient - it does not have one.
When an ecosystem is limited by a single nutrient that either is scarce or cycles very slowly this substance is called a?
It is called a limiting nutrient
When an ecosystem is limited by a single nutrient that either is a scarce or cycles very slowly this substance is called a?
It is called a limiting nutrient
How a nutrient can be a limiting factor in an ecosystem?
when there is less food, there is less population and thus become a limiting factor or rather reaches carrying capacity of the ecosystem due to the lack of food to sustain the biotic potential in this case the population.
When an ecosystem is limited by a single nutrients that either is scarce or cycles very slowly this substance is called a(an)?
limiting nutrient
When an aquatic ecosystem received a large input of limiting nutrient what is often the result and what is the result called?
a "bloom" happens
