Explain how reactions involving carbon-containing compounds can contribute to the greenhouse effect.

The combustion of the carbon results in the generation of the carbon dioxide and the carbon monoxides. Other than this, the reaction of the carbon compounds also causes the release of methane. The reaction of the carbon with various substances also result in the formation of CFCs (Chlorofluorocarbons)

All the mentioned gases are well known green house gases. All the green house gases traps the heat in the earth's atmosphere and cause global warming.  

answer: decrease

a limiting factor is the one which decrease the abundance, distribution and causes extinction of the population of species in a ecosystem. here, predators including hawks, owls and snakes are the limiting factor for the population of mexican free tailed bat.   although bats are nocturnal animals as they forge for food at night these predators also may remain active during night which can decrease the population of the mexican free-tailed bats. also, these bats eat only one type of insects that are moths. the food can also be a limiting factor as all 400 members are dependent upon same type of food needs that are moths. the decrease in the moth population can cause decrease in population size of the mexican free-tailed bats.

therefore, the scenarios will most likely to decrease the population size of the mexican free-tailed bats.
