Limiting factor principle is the too much or too little of any abiotic factor can limit or prevent growth of a population of a species in an ecosystem, even if all other factors are at or near the optimal range of tolerance for the species.

A limnology is the study of the functional relationships and productivity of freshwater biotic communities as they are affected by the dynamics of physical, chemical and biotic environmental parameters.

Line Losses are the amount of energy lost during transmission and distribution of electricity, including unaccounted for uses.

Linear growth is the growth in which a quantity increases by some fixed amount during each unit of time. An example is growth that increases in the sequence 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, and so on.

Liquid is one of the four fundamental states of matter (the others being solid, gas, and plasma), and is the only state with a definite volume but no fixed shape. A liquid is made up of tiny vibrating particles of matter, such as atoms and molecules, held together by intermolecular bonds. Water is, by far, the most common liquid on Earth. Like a gas, a liquid is able to flow and take the shape of a container. Some liquids resist compression, while others can be compressed. Unlike a gas, a liquid does not disperse to fill every space of a container, and maintains a fairly constant density.

A Liquid Egg is Contents of egg (white, yolk, or both) that have been removed and shipped as a product in bulk.
