What factor prevents population growth when food is scarce?
pollution
Limiting factor?
A factor that limits the growth of a population.
a bacteria population is growing exponentially with a growth factor of 1/10 each hour by what growth factor does the population change every 15 minutes?
The bacteria population has an exponential growth with a factor of 16 per hour. The growth factor has to be determined for the population change each half hour.
When the population growth rate becomes zero what is the population size equal to?
If the population growth rate becomes zero the population size becomes static. It stays where it was when it became zero until the rate changes. If the rate becomes negative the population would begin to shrink.
What is an example of a density-dependent factor and a density-independent factor and how each can affect a populations growth.?
An example of a density-dependent factor is competition for resources, such as food or space, which becomes more intense as a population increases, potentially leading to decreased growth rates or population decline. Conversely, a density-independent factor is a natural disaster, like a hurricane or wildfire, which can affect a population's growth regardless of its size by causing widespread mortality or habitat destruction. Both factors can significantly influence population dynamics, either by limiting growth as density increases or by causing sudden declines irrespective of population density.
How does a limiting factor affect a population?
A limiting factor is a resource or environmental condition that restricts the growth or distribution of a population. When a limiting factor becomes scarce, it can lead to decreased population growth or even population decline as individuals struggle to survive without enough of that resource. This can ultimately impact the overall health and sustainability of the population.
What is the it called when factor that causes population growth to decrease?
It is called a limiting factor.
What is logistic growth?
Population growth in which the growth rate decreases with increasing number of individuals until it becomes zero when the population reaches a maximum.
What is the factor that controls the growth of a population?
the fitest survive
If food is scarce it becomes what kind of factor?
If food is scarce, it becomes a limiting factor in an ecosystem. This means it restricts the growth, reproduction, and survival of organisms, as they may struggle to find sufficient nutrition. Consequently, this scarcity can lead to population declines and shifts in species interactions within the ecosystem.
