Identify the 3 biotic factors that could lead to limiting factors for some organisms and affect their population.

Question

A. food
B. sunlight
C. water
D. predators
E. disease
F. dirt

Answer 1

The three biotic factors from your options that could lead to limiting factors for some organisms and affect their population are:

A. food
D. predators
E. disease

These factors can directly interact with organisms and influence their survival, reproduction, and overall population dynamics.

Answer 2

Are you sure?

Answer 3

Yes, I'm sure. The factors I identified (food, predators, and disease) are all biotic factors that can limit the population of organisms. Here’s a brief explanation for each:

• Food (A): The availability of food sources directly affects the survival and reproduction of organisms. If food is scarce, populations may decrease due to starvation.

• Predators (D): The presence of predators can limit the population size of prey species. Higher predator populations can lead to decreased survival rates for the prey.

• Disease (E): The prevalence of diseases can significantly affect populations by increasing mortality rates or reducing reproductive success.

In contrast, sunlight (B) and water (C) are abiotic factors, and dirt (F) is not a significant ecological factor in the same way as the others listed. If you have further questions or need clarification on any of these factors, feel free to ask!
