The plasma membrane allows some molecular species to enter and excludes others. it is therefore referred to as a(n) membrane.

Semi-permeable

Explanation:

The cell membrane are the semi-permeable membranes which are made up of proteins and phospholipids. The semi-permeable membrane causes some molecules or ions to pass through the membrane and protects the other to enter inside. This process avoids harmful ions and molecules to pass enter inside the cell and cause damage to the cell.  This process helps in maintaining the cell metabolism.

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.
