How is the Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) similar to something in a construction site?

Explanation:

The ER membrane is similar in structure to the plasma membrane. There are two types of ER rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) and smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER).There are some protiens and lipids which help in the building of cell membrane  is called membrane biogenesis

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.
