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.

Why are all viruses obligate parasites?
ollegr [7]

Answer:

All viruses are obligate parasites; that is, they lack metabolic machinery of their own to generate energy or to synthesize proteins, so they depend on host cells to carry out these vital functions.

olasank [31]

Answer:No, it cannot do any of the seven things it needs to be able to do to count as being alive such as:

Movement - all living things move, even plants

Respiration - getting energy from food

Sensitivity - detecting changes in the surroundings

Growth - all living things grow

Reproduction - making more living things of the same type

Excretion - getting rid of waste

Nutrition - taking in and using food

The car cannot grow or make baby cars. So a car is not alive.
