THe base of the pyramid is built from organisms that primarily
A) are autotrophs.
Worldwide circulation and reutilization of carbon atoms, chiefly due to metabolic processes of living organisms. Inorganic carbon, in the form of carbon dioxide, is incorporated into organic compounds by photosynthetic organisms; when the organic compounds are broken down in respiration, carbon dioxide is released. Large quantities of carbon are "stored" in the seas and the atmosphere, as well as in fossil fuel deposits.
Answer/Explanation:
Density-dependent limiting factors are non living and biotic factors that affect the size and growth of a population based on the population density, while density-independent limiting factors are those factors that do not depend on the density of a population before they can have an effect on the growth and size of the population.
Examples of density-dependent limiting factors are predation, disease, Parasitism, competition. These rely on the density of a population in order to affect the growth and size of a population.
On the other hand, examples of density-independent limiting factors are pollution, flood, temperature.
