Answer: A. they are overcrowded

A limiting factor is the factor which affects the growth, abundance and distribution of population of species in the living environment. It is of two types: density dependent factor and density independent factor. The density dependent limiting factor results in the change of the per capita population of the living species, with the increase in the density of the population of species. Density independent limiting factor affects per capita population of the living species, irrespective of the density of the population.

Parasitism is a phenomena in which one organism feeds over the body of other to meet it's food, energy requirements and to grow in numbers.  Parasitism is a density dependent limiting factor because more denser the population more profound will be the effect of parasitism. As, parasites will get more number of hosts to acquire their food, and the infection will be transferred easily among large number of individuals in the population.

Hence, overcrowded population of host organisms is most likely to be parasitized.

A volcano sends lava exploding into the air, creating extrusive ingenious rocks. Is this a fast or slow change?
marshall27 [118]

Answer:

It really depends on the location. If its underneath the earth and the magma will take a while to cool but if on surface, it should cool in a matter of days to weeks. In this situation yes because its going in the air and is gonna land on the ground which will cool pretty quickly.

Which question is the best scientific question?
Nesterboy [21]
<h2>The answer is:</h2>

Why does a duck eat?

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

If we take a look at the scientific method, the first step is observation. We need to observe things and then we move towards the formation of a hypothesis. So by looking a duck while the duck is eating, the first question that must come to our minds should be " Why does a duck eat?" And hence we can say that this is the best scientific question as it leads us towards the rest of scientific research.
