Answer: C) bugs are the limiting factor for the frogs.

A limiting factor is the ecological factor which limits the growth, abundance and distribution of the population of the species in an ecosystem. A limiting factor can be a biotic or living factor such as competition, and predation or it can be abiotic or non-living such as natural disaster.

According to the given situation, the frog population decline because the bug population was killed by the chemical spray. The bugs might be the source of food for these frogs. Therefore, the bugs were the limiting factor responsible for the decline of the frogs.

  • Neurons
  • Sperms or ovules
  • Pneumocytes

Why must most antibiotics be given some time to take effect on a disease-causing population of bacteria?
Eva8 [605]
The correct answer is d. "Regeneration" means "forming new cells," and signifies that the disease-causing bacteria cells are multiplying. When there are more of these cells, there is a higher chance for antibiotic resistance (making it take longer for the antibiotics to work). Once there is a smaller concentration of these bacterial cells, the antibiotics become more effective.
