Answer 2

Answer:

Environmental resistance factors are all the things that keep a population of organisms from endlessly increasing. They lower the chances for reproduction, affect the health of organisms, and raise the death rate in the population. Environmental resistance factors include factors that are biotic (living) and abiotic (non-living). Biotic factors are things like predation, parasitism, lack of food, competition with other organisms and disease. Abiotic factors include drought, fire, temperature, and even the wrong amount of sunshine. You can see how all these things, biotic and abiotic, would become an uphill battle to your boulder-pushing.

The Push and Pull of Populations
While environmental resistance acts like a hill pushing back against population growth, biotic potential is what urges a population to grow. Biotic potential has to do with how well a species can survive, including how well adapted it is to the environment and its rate of reproduction. Some species produce a lot of young very often (while others produce fewer babies less often), but invest a lot of energy raising and protecting them. So, while the biotic potential of a species causes the population to increase, environmental resistance keeps it from increasing relentlessly.
