The structure most responsible for maintaining cell homeostasis is the

Plasma membrane

Explanation:

The cell communicates with its outer environment with the help of cell membrane. The factors that keeps the cell healthy are involved in cellular homeostasis. The movement of ions and water is prevented through plasma membrane. Thus sodium ion concentration is maintained in extracellular environment. Inside the cell, organic acids and potassium ions concentration is high. The water movement across the membrane maintains the cytosol concentration. The cell tolerates temperature changes by maintaining fluidity of membrane. Thus, the structure most responsible for maintaining cell homeostasis is the plasma membrane.

a

explanation:

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.
