Detailed explanation-1: -A limiting factor, also known as a limiting reactant or limiting reagent, is the reactant that is used up first in a reaction and therefore limits the amount of product that can be formed.
Detailed explanation-2: -Limiting factors are the factors that are not present in abundance. These are the environmental conditions or resources that limit the growth or distribution of an ecosystem. These can be either physical or biological factors which are identified by the increase or decrease in growth or distribution of a population.
Detailed explanation-3: -Some examples of limiting factors are biotic, like food, mates, and competition with other organisms for resources. Others are abiotic, like space, temperature, altitude, and amount of sunlight available in an environment. Limiting factors are usually expressed as a lack of a particular resource.
