What is true of two resources that act synergistically to determine the population growth of a particular species? 

#Section 1: Ecology
  1. They conform to Liebig's law of the minimum
  2. Each has an independent effect on population growth
  3. When one resource is limiting, increasing the amount of the other has no effect
  4. The effect of one depends on the level of the other
