Which abiotic factor limits the distribution of life in the oceans but does not usually the distribution of life on land?
Light availability is an abiotic factor that limits the distribution of life in the oceans, as light penetration decreases with depth. This is not as much of a limiting factor for terrestrial life where light availability is more consistent.
Why do plants sometimes stop photosynthesising on a hot dry day?
They do because when the weather is very hot, the stomata closes and if the stomata closes photosynthesis cannot take place: to prevent too much water from being lost
How do plants obtain carbon dioxide from air?
On the leaf (usually the underside), there are openings called the stoma (plural stomata). Gas exchange occurs at these stomata: CO2 diffuses into the openings and O2 and water diffuses out (during the day). To prevent the plant losing too much water, the stomata openings can be closed by special guard cells that surround them, regulating transpiration and also thereby the temperature of the leaf.Some plants, such as cacti, take in and store carbon dioxide at night, and store it as weak acids. This makes the plant more efficient since it limits the exposure of plant enzymes to oxidation. However, these plants still give off copious oxygen during the day.
What factor limits where algae are found in the open ocean?
The availability of sunlight is a major factor that limits where algae can be found in the open ocean. Algae rely on sunlight for photosynthesis, so they are usually found in the upper layers of the water column where light can penetrate. Nutrient levels and water temperature also play a role in determining the distribution of algae in the open ocean.
What is the Limiting factor to a light microscope?
The limiting factor to a light microscope is its resolution, which is the ability to distinguish between two separate points in an image. Light microscopes are limited by the wavelength of visible light, which limits their resolution to around 200 nanometers. This means that they cannot visualize structures smaller than this limit.
Limiting factor?
A factor that limits the growth of a population.
Why rate of transpiration decreses with increase in atmospheric pressure?
Increasing atmospheric pressure can cause stomata to close, reducing the rate of transpiration in plants. Closed stomata limits the water vapor escaping from the leaves, thus decreasing the overall transpiration rate.
What is a physiological limiting factor?
The body's limits.
What is a factor that limits technology design?
A constraint

What abiotic factor limits plant growth on the forest floor?
d
What is the difference between a closed rule and an open rule in the House of Representatives?
Closed rules set time limits on debate and restrict the passage of amendments
What is an abiotic factor that limits the carrying capacity of animal species?
The availability of water is the limiting abiotic factor.
A resource so scarce that it limits the size of a population is called a?
a limiting factor
Which abiotic factor limits the distribution of life in the oceans but does not usually the distribution of life on land?
Light availability is an abiotic factor that limits the distribution of life in the oceans, as light penetration decreases with depth. This is not as much of a limiting factor for terrestrial life where light availability is more consistent.
What is meant inhibitor?
An inhibitor is a factor or object which limits how an aim is reached, or completely stops it altogether.
Which abiotic factor limits the distribution of the ocean but does not usually limit the distribution of life on land?
water
