Answer:

How do limiting factors affect population size?

Step-by-step explanation:

Limiting factors are factors that affects the size of a population and slows down its growth rate or stop it in its entirety.

These factors include food, space, temperature, sunlight etc.

Limiting factor like food can affect a population greatly like not having enough preys in a forest, therefore the predators are starved to death or even in a fish pond where there is high competition for space (overpopulated) which leads to oxygen deficiency i.e they compete for oxygen as well, and this can lead to death as well.
