A scientist observes that little to no plant life exists in the Atacama Desert. However, in rare periods of rain, flowers and plants bloom to create a temporary colorful landscape. Evaluate this observation and explain a limiting factor that is affecting the plant life in the Atacama Desert.

(Not a multiple choice, write your own answer.)

The limiting factor is water

Explanation:

Just like any other dessert, the Atacama is very dry. It is dry because in landscapes such as a desert it doesn't rain much. As we know, plants need water to survive and grow. So, the limiting factor for the plants and the desert is water. In those brief periods of times when it does rain, the plant get the limiting factor back and can survive and grow.

Explanation:

photosynthesis makes the glucose that is used in cellular respiration to make atp. the glucose is then turned back into carbon dioxide, which is used in photosynthesis. while water is broken down to form oxygen during photosynthesis, in cellular respiration oxygen is combined with hydrogen to form water.
