Complete Question:
The carrying capacity of the environment for a species is determined by:
options:
(a) the reproductive rate of the organism.
(b) the number of organisms of that species.
(c) the state and national wildlife laws pertaining to that species.
(d) the age distribution of that species.
(e) the limited availability of renewable resources in the environment and the environmental resistance to the biotic potential of the organism.
Answer: (e) the limited availability of renewable resources in the environment and the environmental resistance to the biotic potential of the organism.
Explanation: The carrying capacity refers to the highest number of the species that the environment can cater for, in terms of food, space and other necessities that supports life.
Thus, the available of renewable resources (i.e resources that can be reused after consumption e.g water) in the environment, plays as a determinant of the highest number of individuals an environment can support (carrying capacity).
Furthermore, environmental resistance to the biotic potential of the organism, is also a determinant of the carrying capacity of organisms inhabiting that particular environment.
Osmosis is mainly described as the movement of water or fluids through a permeable or semi-permeable membrane because of a specific difference in potential gradient. Applying the process of osmosis on wounds, such as into a scab or nosebleed, has been used since ancient times by Greeks, Romans, and Egyptians. They do this by applying salt water to wounds. Even today, salt water in the form of saline is still used to treat minor wounds and hasten their healing. Osmosis forces liquid in the cells to move out of the body, taking along with them any bacteria that has also entered through the wound; thus,<span> healing the wound area and leaving it a little dry. </span>

Well the soil classification is usually done on the basis of particle sizes and composition of soil.
<span>Clay </span>usually consists of particles less than 0.075 mm in size. It is a sticky soil and shows great changes in volume with variation in its water contact. It also shows considerable strength when air dried.
<span>Silt </span>has larger particles than clay and are mainly inorganic in nature. The particle size is less than 0.075mm and exhibits slightly plastic or non plastic behaviour.
Humus is soil consisting of dead and decaying organic matter. It is mainly organic in content but some inorganic particles may be mixed in it. The top soil in a tropical forest may be considered as humus.
