Since, the question is incomplete the complete question is as follows:
Limiting Factors Lab Report Instructions: In this lab, you will investigate how limiting factors affect a population of cricket frogs in the Florida Everglades. Your scientific inquiry will focus on three limiting factors: food, predators, and pollution. Complete the following lab report to record your observations as you move through the simulation.
1. Which limiting factor(s) in this lab simulation are biotic? The biotic factor is alligator and the mosquito. 2. Which limiting factor(s) in this lab simulation are abiotic? 3. Which limiting factor impacted the cricket frog population the most? Use evidence to support your answer.
Answer: 1. predator
2. food and pollution
3. predator
Explanation:
1. The predator is the biotic limiting factor in this simulation because the predator can feed on the population of cricket frogs, and will reduce their population size.
2. The food and pollution are the abiotic limiting factors as they are non-living. If the cricket frogs do not get food they will die and the pollution in the air or water can reduce their life span.
3. The predator population affected the cricket population the most as they were available as a good source of food for the predators.
