Determine if the limiting factors listed below are density-dependent or density-independent.

industrial pollution

habitat

food

a hurricane

number of mates

hunting by humans

Determine if the limiting factors listed below are density-dependent or density-independent?

food is density-dependent

Number of mates is also density-dependent

Habitat is density-dependent

a hurricane is density-independent

Hunting by humans is density-independent

Industrial pollution is density-dependent

Explanation:

The above limiting factors shows some density-dependent while one is density-independent. Food, habitat, and industrial pollution all depends on population as the lesser the population the smaller the limiting factors caused while hurricane and hunting by humans are density-independent.

Food, Habitat, Number of mates, and industrial pollution are all limiting factors that solely depends on density as the increase in density affects it greatly while hurricane and hunting by humans has nothing to do with increase or decrease in density, hence, they are density-independent

industrial pollution-independent

habitat-dependent

food-dependent

hurricane-independent

number of mates - dependent

hunting by humans - independent

Explanation:d

density-independent means that density does not matter to the limiting factor and dependent means that it does matter.
