Question

2 matching 2 points match the two very - similar - looking terms with their respective definitions: density - independent limiting factor density - dependent limiting factor a limiting factor that affects a population regardless of its size and/or density a limiting factor that operates most strongly when population density is high 3 multiple answer 2 points choose all of the density - dependent limiting factors from the following choices: crowding stress predation droughts disease

Explanation:

A density - independent limiting factor affects a population regardless of its size and/or density. A density - dependent limiting factor operates most strongly when population density is high. Crowding stress, predation, and disease are density - dependent as they are more impactful at high population densities. Droughts are density - independent as they affect populations regardless of density.

Answer:

1. density - independent limiting factor: a limiting factor that affects a population regardless of its size and/or density

density - dependent limiting factor: a limiting factor that operates most strongly when population density is high

1. crowding stress, predation, disease
