Question

For this assessment you will:

1. examine the animals and plants that live around your home or in a local park
2. choose one kind of plant or animal that lives there
3. identify the specific species name of the plant or animal that you chose
4. choose five factors that might limit the size of population of this species
5. identify each of your five limiting factors as a biotic or abiotic factor

You will record this information in the assignment worksheet.

Answer 20

3. Identification of rose plant : \(Rose~Flower\)
The name rose comes from French, itself from Latin rosa, belongs to the family \(Rosaceae\). There are over 100 species and thousands of cultivars. They form a group of plants that can be erect shrubs, climbing or trailing with stems that are often armed with sharp wingspanles. Flowers vary in size and shape and are usually large and showy, in colours ranging from white through yellows and reds. Most species are native to Asia, with smaller numbers native to Europe, North America, and northwest Africa.
\(Does~it~Help~?\)

Answer 21

yea

Answer 22

so step 4 ?

Answer 23

@Koikkara

Answer 24

Step 4.\( The~5~ factors~ that ~ limit~ the ~size~ of~ population~!~\)

Answer 25

which are?

Answer 26

Limiting factor is a factor that causes population growth to decrease. \(Can~you~say~what~kills~rose~plants~?\)

Answer 27

1. ?

Answer 28

what?

Answer 29

1. _______ limiting factor.?

Answer 30

oh you want me to write the first limiting factor?

Answer 31

Ofcourse... Write it down, it helps later..

Answer 32

1. density-dependent limiting factor.

Answer 33

Good !!

\(Ref:\) Other \(Limiting~ Factors\)

The following are regarded as the most important environmental factors

· Temperature
· Moisture supply
· Radiant energy
· Composition of the atmosphere
· Soil aeration and soil structure
· Soil reaction
· Biotic factors
· Supply of mineral nutrients
· Absence of growth-restricting substances

Answer 35

ok so i will pick 4 more because i need 5 limiting factors
i pick..
temperature
moisture supply
radiant energy
soil reaction
:)

Answer 36

ok wait so is this how I'm supposed to do it?

Answer 37

Ofcourse, you know to answer such questions, Now !

Answer 38

ok but i still need help hold on..
is density-dependent biotic or abiotic?

Answer 39

Density-dependent factors are most often biotic variables. Biotic variables are all of the living organisms within an ecosystem.

Answer 40

ok so biotic :)

Answer 41

\(\large\rm\color{green}{Correct~!}\)

Answer 42

and i need a Description of how this limits the population of the species you selected

Answer 43

do u remember the example i gave 100 flowers in the pot for 2 ?

Answer 44

yea but can you tell me it again in a full sentence please :)

Answer 45

Density-dependent factors operate only when the population density reaches a certain level. These factors operate most strongly when a population is large and dense. For example, when you plant 100 flowering plants it die -off because they compete for food, water space, sunlight and other essentials.

and the rest... you can find from the link, \(Scroll~Up~!\)

Answer 47

\(\large\rm\color{green}{Nice~to~meet~you~!}\)

Answer 48

okay awesome thanks!

Answer 49

@Koikkara

Answer 50

ok so is temperature biotic or abiotic?

Answer 51

In \(general\) ( for all limiting factors) There are two categories of these factors: abiotic and biotic. Abiotic factors are the non-living parts of the environment that can often have a major influence on living organisms. Abiotic factors include water, sunlight, oxygen, soil and temperature.

Answer 52

so ABIOTIC!

Answer 53

\(100\100~marks\)

Answer 54

ok so i need a Description of how this limits the population of the temperature

Answer 55

Living things- biotic
non living things - Abiotic.
\(Descriptions\) Check the link.

\(Cheers~!\)

Answer 56

but i like the description you give me :)

Answer 57

please! :) @Koikkara
