What is a limiting factor

Biology
2 answers:
inna [77]2 years ago
3 0
A limiting factor is something that restricts organism(s) from increasing their population. If you look at a graph showing the population of a certain organism, you will notice that at a certain amount of their population it stays around the same area. That is known as the <em>carrying capacity</em>. The carrying capacity is there due to the limiting factors, which depends based on the needs of particular organisms. For example, one limiting factor for a certain species might be that the number of predators increased, or there are limited resources available in order to survive.

Answer:

1. Intraspecific

2. speciation

3. fossil record

4. The fossil record provides empirical evidence for evolution because it shows that species now aren't the same as species that existed in the past and that small changes happen over time to create new species.

5. A geographic variation in the fossil record occurs when two similar organisms occupy the same time span in two different places. These organisms hold the same purpose within the overall ecology.

6. A more detailed fossil record is preferable for supporting evolution because it allows for the instances of gradual change to be recorded and placed into broader speciation events.

7. Fossils provide a great many intermediaries that connect past species with their living descendants.

8. Intraspecific competition is competition that occurs within species. This is the competition that drives natural selection.

According to selye's general adaptation syndrome, in which stage do glands throughout the body manufacture different hormones th
vichka [17]
The correct answer is resistance stage.

Hans Selye was a very important endocrinologist working in the field of biological stress. He developed the General Adaptation Syndrome (GAS) which is a model describing an animal's response to stress. GAS is comprised of three stages; the alarm, the resistance and the exhaustion stage.

During the resistance stage, the body's glands produce and secrete several hormones which protect the individual from the perceived stressor. Some of the hormones produced at this stage are the glucocorticoids.

What is the function of the human immune system
pshichka [43]
The immune system<span> is made up of a network of cells, tissues, and organs that work together to protect the body. One of the important cells involved are white blood cells, also called leukocytes, which come in two basic types that combine to seek out and destroy disease-causing organisms or substances.</span>

What allows the flow of energy through an ecosystem to happen
EleoNora [17]
It flows through the consumers (first level second level so forth). However, at each level, it loses 90 percent of the energy as heat. So at each level, each consumer will only get 10 percent of the energy.

What enzyme connects new nucleotides and proofreads them in separated DNA strands?
horrorfan [7]
<span>DNA polymerase is the enzyme that connects new nucleotides and proofreads them into separate DNA strands. 

This process is part of DNA replication. A cell's DNA is replicated before a cell divides. The two strands of a DNA molecule have complementary base pairs. Each strand in the pair consists of a nucleotide sequence which is able to provide the information to duplicate itself. Before the duplication occurs, the length of the DNA that is about to be copied must be unwound and the two strands must be separated. This is done by breaking the weak hydrogen bonds that link the pairs together. They must then be kept apart from each other to expose the bases so that the new nucleotide partners can bond to them. DNA polymerase is the enzyme that moves along the exposed DNA strand and joins the new nucleotides to manufacture a new DNA strand that is a duplicate of the original</span><span>
