Biotic and abiotic factors affects the size of a population in different ways in such a way that the biotic factors include factors such as presence of plants and animals that threatens the population which could be a predator-prey contest and such would have a direct effect on their population while the abiotic factor also has direct effect on size of population such as presence of extreme temperature in an environment which would make some animals to migrate to a new environment where they seems to thrive better. example that suits both biotic and abiotic factors that could affect the size of a population is predator-prey contest e.g hunting of snakes by humans affect the size of population and increase in temperature which is an abiotic factor allow snakes to migrate to a new environment that suits them

Explanation:

the solute can move "downhill," from regions of higher to lower concentration, relying on the specificity of the protein carrier to pass through the membrane. this process is called passive transport or facilitated diffusion, and does not require energy.
