Question

10 multiple answer 1 point which of the following are limiting factors? predation food availability climate change reproduction rate

Explanation:

• Predation: Predators can reduce the population size of prey species, thus acting as a limiting factor.
• Food availability: Insufficient food can limit the growth and survival of a population.
• Climate change: Changes in climate (e.g., temperature, precipitation) can affect habitats and resources, limiting population growth.
• Reproduction rate is an intrinsic characteristic of a species and not an external limiting factor in the ecological sense (limiting factors are usually external environmental factors that restrict population size).

Answer:

A. Predation, B. Food availability, C. Climate change
