Question

question 1 points 2 which of the following statements is false about the limiting factors? density - dependent factors affect the small, less dense populations more strongly than the large, dense populations. limiting factors define the carrying capacity of the ecosystem. predation occurs when the population density of the prey is high. weather factors can easily wipe out a large population in an area.

Explanation:

Density - dependent factors such as predation, competition, and disease have a greater impact on large, dense populations as there are more individuals interacting. Limiting factors indeed determine the carrying capacity. Predation often increases with high - density prey populations. Weather (a density - independent factor) can wipe out large populations.

Answer:

A. Density dependent factors affect the small, less dense populations more strongly than the large, dense populations.
