○ competition

○ predation

10 multiple choice 1 point
a sudden disease spreads through a rabbit population. which type of limiting factor does this represent?
○ abiotic
○ biotic
○ competition
○ symbiotic relationship

Explanation:

Question 9

Abiotic factors are non - living components of an ecosystem. Disease is caused by living organisms (pathogens), competition is between living organisms, and predation involves living predators and prey. Weather is a non - living component (like temperature, rainfall, etc.) that can limit the growth, distribution, or survival of organisms. So Weather is an abiotic limiting factor.

Biotic factors are living or once - living components of an ecosystem. A disease that spreads through a rabbit population is caused by living pathogens (like bacteria, viruses, etc.). Abiotic factors are non - living. Competition is a type of interaction between living organisms, and a disease spread is not a symbiotic relationship (symbiotic relationships are mutualism, commensalism, or parasitism, and disease spread here is more about a pathogenic interaction which is a type of biotic limiting factor). So a sudden disease spread is a biotic limiting factor.
