Options are:

a.The storm is a density-independent limiting factor, because population size and density do not alter the storm's effect.

b. The storm is a density-independent limiting factor, because its effects depend on the size and density of a population.

c. The storm is a density-dependent limiting factor, because it's a fact depends on the size and density of a population

d. The storm is a density-dependent limiting factor, because its effect depends on the strength of its wind and rainfall

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

The limiting factor can be defined as that variable of the system that can cause a noticeable change in the output factor.

The density independent limiting factor can be earthquake, storm, flood, hurricane which is independent of the population size and can kill all the animals whether its population is large or small.

The hurricane is a density independent limiting factor which will kill all the animals and plants regardless of the population size.

So, it is a density limiting factor because it affects the change in the population size.

How does the concentration of salt in water affect the rate of osmosis?
Nata [24]
The concentration of salt in water affects the rate of osmosis because it will determine how much water should be transported or excreted or to be taken in. The cellular process is keen to the salt concentration of its system thus making sure to maintain balance between the salt concentration the right amount of water must also be in its area of release for any expected occurences.
Osmosis then is the movement of water particles from which has water and from which has not and to provide it with the sufficient H2O.
