Scientists have observed the exponential growth of lionfish in the Caribbean Sea. Which of these predictions about the future of the lionfish population is the most likely to occur?
A. The lionfish population will continue growing exponentially indefinitely
B. A limiting factor will cause the growth of the lionfish population to slow down, forming a pattern of logistic growth
C. A limiting factor will cause the lionfish population to decline rapidly, and eventually decrease to near zero.
D. The lionfish population will enter a cycle of increasing and decreasing numbers, typical of many predators and prey.

any abiotic or biotic factor in an ecosystem that causes a population's size to slow or decrease is a limiting factor.

before, trains worked using the steam engine. thus, it uses heat so it is crucial to apply heat balance. the steam engine absorbs energy during the stage of boiling water. so, this is the endothermic reaction. when the steam is used to work the piston, it has to release this energy through running the train. the excess energy is released as an exhaust to the chimney. this is the exothermic process because it releases energy to the surroundings.

instead of copying and pasting things off of tests or work done on computer which im sure you did, try and read over the question carefully
