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.

the graph shows how the rate of photosynthesis of a plant varies with light intensity. interpret the graph and justify statement

dezoksy [38]

The graph shows that the rate of photosynthesis increases with increased light intensity, other conditions being constant.

<h3>Photosynthesis and light intensity</h3>

From the graph, the rate of photosynthesis increases with an increase in light intensity.

At low light intensity, the photosynthesis rate increases with an increase in the concentration of carbon dioxide and level off at some point.

With medium light intensity, the rate of photosynthesis is about twice that of low light intensity under the same concentration of carbon dioxide. It also gradually levels off when the concentration of carbon dioxide reached a particular point.

The same trend applies to high light intensity. The rate of photosynthesis increased accordingly, much more than low and medium-intensity light.

Both light and carbon dioxide concentration can limit the rate of photosynthesis. When both factors are abundant, photosynthesis can be limited by other factors such as water, nutrient, etc.
