Resources affect populations
Living and nonliving things are both found within the same ecosystem. The living things require the non living things for survival.

Limiting Factors
Environmental factors, such as the amount of water, food, sunlight and temperature available, are limiting factors for a population.

A limiting factor is sometimes that restricts the size of a population. Limiting factors might affect the number of individuals in the ecosystem can support.

The amount of space affects a population’s size.

Available water, food, sunlight and temperature are all limiting factors.

Space is also a limiting factor.

If there are too few resources, populations may migrate to new areas.

4. What would most likely be the result of an invasive species entering an ecosystem?

5. Why are humans responsible for many invasive species?

Answers

#4: An ecosystem is a geographic area where plants, animals, and other organisms, as well as weather and landscape, work together to form a bubble of life. Ecosystems contain biotic or living, parts, as well as abiotic factors, or nonliving parts

#5: It is not surprising that human population density is a leading cause of species invasions. Species are easily moved by human and animal (particularly domestic animal) vectors, and increasing populations residing next to protected areas simply means increasing the odds of species introduction

Answers

5-8 Sentences on: "How Does The Availability Of Resources In Ecosystems Impact Ecosystems?"

Changing out natural resources in our environment can affect the whole entire ecosystem.  Ecosystems can change throughout time but the change may or may not affect the ecosystems.  But according to research, if the change is too fast the whole ecosystem can be destroyed.  An imbalanced or damaged ecosystem can lead to problems.  Certain resources play an important role such as sunlight and water, we need resources to survive and can also help living creatures.  These resources impact animals, plants, and insects/bugs.

What is electromagnetic spectrum?

The electromagnetic radiation consists of waves made up of electromagnetic field which are capable of propogating through space and carry the radiant electromagnetic energy.

The radiation are composed of electromagnetic waves which are synchronized oscillations of electric and magnetic fields . They are created due to change which is periodic in electric as well as magnetic fields.

In vacuum ,all the electromagnetic waves travel at the same speed that is with the speed of air.The position of an electromagnetic wave in an electromagnetic spectrum is characterized by it's frequency or wavelength.They are emitted by electrically charged particles which undergo acceleration and subsequently interact with other charged particles.

Write a paragraph on why food needs to be digested. :)

Please hurry I need it.

Answers

Answer: You die if no digest

Explanation:

Food needs to be digested because your body can't contain large stuff whole, so it has to be converted into a smaller amount. For Instance, if you were to eat a entire turkey then your body would just explode I guess if you wouldn't digest it. Also, without digesting food you can't enter new food into your body. Therefore, this is why food needs to be digested.

Im sorry if my answer is two short but you can expand or take the idea of it.

Food needs to be digested into tiny particles in order for your body to absorb its nutrients and convert it to energy.

Answer the following questions with a picture only PLEASEEEEE.

1. What is the main source of energy for ecosystems?

2. What are some natural things that can disturb ecosystems?

Answers

Answer:

1.Photosynthesis is the process of converting light into energy

2.Natural events, such as wind, drought, flood, fire, or disease.

Explanation:

1.Since photosynthesis converts light into C-H bonds in organic material, photosynthesis is the most common source of energy in most habitats, and therefore carbon flow and destiny are inextricably related to energy flow.

2.Natural disasters such as wind, drought, storm, burning, or disease may cause disruption. These "natural occurrences" are often linked to human activities. Air and water emissions, as well as climate change effects such as temperature, rainfall, and ocean chemistry, are also examples of human disruptions.

Answer:

Threatened Species: A threatened species is a species at risk but not yet endangered. California sea otters were classififed as a threatened species. Laws were passed to protect the otters and now they have increased their population size.

Invasive Species: One of the main causes of extinction and endangered species is the introduction of an exotic species. New exotic species are called invasive species. Invasive species can disrupt food chains, carry disease, prey on native species directly, and out-compete native species for limited resources, like food.

Extinction: If a population decreases too much in numbers, they disappear. Extinct species mean that the species has died out and no individuals left. An example of extinction: New Zealand was once home to a bird called the Giant Moa. Humans settled as their population increased the Moa population decreased. The species is now extinct.
