p. 141 A.Q. 1ab, 2b, 4 1a. What is a limiting factor? 1a. A limiting factor is a factor that controls the growth of a population. 1b. How do limiting factors affect the growth of populations? 1b. Limiting factors affect the growth of populations by determining the carrying capacity of environments for populations. 2b. What is the relationship between competition and population size? 2b. The relationship between competition and population size is that competition between individuals increases as population size increases. • Study the factors that limit population growth in figure 5-6. Classify each factor as biotic or abiotic. 4. Biotic factors in the figure include competition, predation, parasitism, and disease. Unusual weather and natural disasters are abiotic factors.
