10 Questions
Define limiting factors in an ecosystem.
Limiting factors are any abiotic or biotic factors that restrict the number or reproduction of organisms in an ecosystem.
Give an example of an abiotic limiting factor in an ecosystem.
An example of an abiotic limiting factor could be the amount of water available in the ecosystem.
What is the difference between dependent and independent limiting factors?
Dependent limiting factors depend on the number of organisms, while independent limiting factors do not depend on the number of organisms.
Provide an example of a dependent limiting factor.
An example of a dependent limiting factor could be the amount of food available for each organism, which depends on the number of organisms in the ecosystem.
Give an example of an independent limiting factor.
An example of an independent limiting factor could be the amount of rainfall, which does not depend on the number of organisms.
