Compare and contrast the methods used by bacteria and protozoa to stay alive. Even when conditions within the environment are unfavorable for the growth and survival of the organism.

Protozoa formed cysts and bacteria produces endospores.

Explanation:

Protozoa can survive in dry and unfavourable environments, by producing resting cysts that enable them to remain dormant until conditions are favourable while on the other hand, bacteria produce special dehydrated cells called Endospore which helps the bacteria to survive unfavourable environmental conditions. These endospores help bacteria to resist high temperature, radiation, drying, and other environmental extremes.

the answer to your question is:

c. complementary base-pairing

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.
