A isn't possible.

B. A plant cell is in its prime condition as a hypotonic solution, because the plant cells need to be as big as possible so that the cell walls push together and the plant can be strong and not wilt. So a plant in an isotonic solution will become flaccid (or weak).

C. Animal cells in hypertonic solutions will always shrivel because they are losing water.

D. Animal cells in hypotonic solutions will always grow and burst because they are gaining water from the solution. An easy way to remember the difference between hypertonic and hypotonic solutions is that in hypotonic solutions, the cell will grow big, kind of like the O in hypOtonic.

A. A plant cell in a hypertonic solution will shrivel, not burst. Even a plant cell in a hypOtonic solution will usually not burst, as explained in B.

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.
