A limiting factor in ecology refers to the resources in the environmental conditions, which restrict the growth, distribution, or abundance of an organism or a population of organisms in an ecosystem.  

In the given situation in Atacama Desert, water is a limiting factor as due to the scarcity of water the plants are having a tough time growing, which restricts the number of plants found in the desert.

Answer:

<h2><em>The limiting factor is water.</em></h2>

Explanation:

Just like any other dessert, the Atacama is very dry. It is dry because in landscapes such as a desert it doesn't rain much. As we know, plants need water to survive and grow. So, the limiting factor for the plants and the desert is water. In those brief periods of times when it does rain, the plant get the limiting factor back and can survive and grow.

Which statements about the Hubble Space Telescope are true?
ankoles [38]
<h2 /><h2>Answer-</h2>

The Hubble Space Telescope (often referred to as HST or Hubble) is a space telescope that was launched into low Earth orbit in 1990 and remains in operation. It was not the first space telescope, but it is one of the largest and most versatile, renowned both as a vital research tool and as a public relations boon for astronomy. The Hubble telescope is named after astronomer Edwin Hubble and is one of NASA's Great Observatories, along with the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory (1991–2000), the Chandra X-ray Observatory (1999–present), and the Spitzer Space Telescope (2003–2020). The Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI) selects Hubble's targets and processes the resulting data, while the Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) controls the spacecraft.

Answer:

  the very long river

Explanation:

Larger rocks tend to settle out of the water flow sooner than smaller rocks do, so the rocks remaining at the end of a very long river would tend to be very small. A very short river may still be carrying somewhat larger rocks.

The very long river probably drops the smallest rock pieces near the ocean.

_____

Perhaps the implied assumption here is that a very short river will have a higher gradient than a very long river. Another assumption is that rocks are picked up nearer the headwaters, and the gradient decreases with distance.

If both rivers end at a waterfall into the ocean, they may very well carry the same sort of rock size distribution. If the short river traverses muddy terrain, and the longer river traverses rocky terrain, the answer may be reversed.

This type of enzyme is found in the mitochondrion and catalyzes the formation of ATP which provides energy to cells.

The ATP which is referred to as adenosine triphosphate is formed from the molecules known as ADP and inorganic phosphate which are present in the body cells. This ensures that the daily energy needs of the body are met.
