Answer: density dependent  

Limiting factor is a resource or environmental condition which limits the growth, abundance or distribution of population of species in an ecosystem. A limiting factor can be living or non-living affecting the size of the population of species in an ecosystem. Density dependent limiting factor causes decline in population per capita growth with increasing population density. Density dependent limiting factors are mostly biotic (living) rather abiotic (non-living).

Density dependent limiting factor will affect a large population more than it affects a small population because of the following reasons:

1. Competition: When a population attains high density, the members of the population compete for available resources like food, shelter, water, mates and other resources required for survival and reproduction. The competition for resources will limit the members in the population.

2. Predation: Larger population may attract more number of predators. Therefore, density in this case will result in limitation in population size.

3. Disease: When more number of individuals living in the same locality, there are chances of transmittance of diseases, hence, will result in decrease in population.

4. Accumulation of waste: High population density can lead to accumulation of biological wastes, which can contaminate the living environment, hence can limit population size.

Describe the structure of alveolus which is known as tha breating organ.
Dovator [93]
The alveolus (singular form) or alveoli (plural form) are tiny sacs of organs that are attached to the ends of the alveolar duct. These tiny sacs of air are clumped together that form interconnected caves, working together as a unit. They are found inside the lungs and they make the exchange of air easy and possible. Alveoli units are responsible for putting oxygen into the air that we breathe in. Blood that passes through the heart and into the lungs are converted into oxygen which will be then transported by the blood all over the body systems.  
<span>
The walls of the alveoli are extremely thin to enable the quick exchange of gases Aside from this, the linings of alveoli units are fluid in nature enabling gases to dissolve.  </span>

When the patch occupancy rate (c) equals the patch extinction rate (e), patch occupancy (P) is
IgorC [24]

Answer:

When the patch occupancy rate (c) equals the patch extinction rate (e), patch occupancy (P) is 0

Explanation:

According to Levin's model (1969):

<em>dP/dt = c - e</em>

where P represents the proportion of occupied patches.

<em>c</em><em> </em>and <em>e </em>are the local immigration and extinction probabilities per patch.

Thus, the rate of change of P, written as dP/dt, tells you whether P will increase, decrease or stay the same:

  • if dP/dt >0, then P is increasing with time
  • if dP/dt <0, then P is decreasing with time
  • if dP/dt = 0, then P is remaining the same with time.

The rate dP/dt is calculated by the difference between colonization or occupancy rate (<em>c</em>) and extinction rate (<em>e</em>).

c is then calculated as the number of successful colonizations of unoccupied patches as a proportion of all available patches, while e is the proportion of patches becoming empty. Notice that P can range between 0  and  1.

As a result, if the patch occupancy rate (c) equals the patch extinction rate (e), then patch occupancy P equals to 0.
