Food is the only limiting factor that keeps populations from growing too large true or false?

The correct answer is False

Explanation:

A limiting factor refers to a condition that stops or limits the growth of a population of any species. Some of these factors include the availability of sources such as food, shelter or water; predation; natural weather conditions; natural disasters; and competence.

The previous idea implies food is not the only factor or condition that would stop or limit the growth of a population but there are many other factors that could prevent a population from growing too large, this includes abiotic factors (nonliving condition) such as weather and biotic factors (living condition) such as competition with other species or individuals or predation.

substituting a hydrogen atom with a halogen in a hydrocarbon:

- the single bond remains single. a is wrong.

- the bond with hydrogen is as strong as with a halogen. c is wrong

- a hydrocarbon is saturated if there is no double bond. we do not know that so d is wrong.

- carbon will always have four valence electrons. e is wrong.

by elimination, the correct answer is b. the boiling point of the new compound increases.
