Biotic and Abiotic Factors Limiting Factors

Which of the following would be an abiotic limiting factor for oysters living in the Chesapeake Bay?

• the number of human collecting them

• the amount of sediment in the water

• the amount of algae

• the number of parasites

Snails eating algae are examples of:

• a biotic factor limiting abiotic factor.

• a biotic factor limiting an biotic factor.

• an abiotic factor limiting an abiotic factor.

• an abiotic factor limiting a biotic factor.

A limiting factor is a factor that:

• makes organisms grow to their full potential.

• causes the dissolved oxygen to increase to its limit.

• determines the number of a certain population that can survive in an area.

• makes algae blooms occur
