Answer:

c. Limits on population growth

Explanation:

Darwin was heavily influenced by Malthusian theory of how population growth was influenced by growth limits. For Darwin, the population growth of species of living beings would be influenced by the limits imposed by the environment in which these species live, through the amounts of natural resources available to the population.

Thus, Darwin concludes that when the environment allowed an abundance of natural resources, such as water and food, the population of living beings would tend to grow more, however, when natural resources are limited, the population would grow less. This is called "population growth limits".

An example of this can be seen in the question above, where finches that live in an isolated area have limited access to seeds and water.

Which best describes a way in which phosphorus may enter into the phosphorus cycle
Alborosie

The following choices are provided;

  • Earthquakes release phosphorus.
  • Phosphorus is carried in the rain that was evaporated from lakes.
  • Human use of fertilizers releases phosphorus into the groundwater.
  • Phosphorus is transpired.

The answer is; Earthquakes release phosphorus

Phosphorus is usually made less available to plants and to the rest of the ecosystem through runoffs. The washed-off phosphorus is deposited at the oceans- and seabeds with sediments. This phosphorus is made available again due to tectonic plate movements. Tectonic movements may cause earthquakes that expose these sediments to the earth’s surface.This uncovers the sedimentary rocks to agents of weathering and hence the elements are more available to living organisms on the surface.
