While food availability plays a significant role in population growth, other factors such as disease, predation, competition for resources, and environmental changes also influence population size. A population can be limited by a combination of these factors, not just food availability.
No, food availability is not the only limiting factor for population size. Other factors such as competition for resources, predation, disease, availability of suitable habitat, and environmental conditions like temperature and rainfall can also play a significant role in limiting population growth. In nature, populations are often regulated by a combination of multiple factors rather than just one.
False. The global human population is currently growing rather than being in dynamic equilibrium. Dynamic equilibrium suggests a balance between birth and death rates; however, the current global population growth is outpacing the death rate due to advancements in healthcare and technology.
Yes, lack of sunlight is a significant limiting factor for plant growth on land. Sunlight is essential for photosynthesis, the process by which plants make their food. Plants require sunlight to produce energy and nutrients needed for growth and development. Inadequate sunlight can cause stunted growth and reduced fruit or flower production in plants.
False. Increasing the intensity of light typically increases the rate of photosynthesis, up to a certain point where other limiting factors may come into play.
False. Salinity is not the most important factor in the process of photosynthesis. Light intensity, carbon dioxide concentration, and temperature all play more vital roles in photosynthesis.
FALSE
Because there are more limiting factors that keep a population from growing too large.
Because there are more limiting factors that keep a population from growing too large.
the largest amount of a population that can be supported by an are is its limiting factor
FALSE
False.

true because the internet can be false and instead you should read books.
its true because plants have to face the sun and in order to do that they need to share space with trees
If it starts narrowing immediately from the bottom, then true but if it goes up a bit and then starts narrowing, then false.
False. Although Africa does have a high infant mortality rate, it has the world's largest birth rate, which largely surpasses its death rate.
False.
