Spongy Mesophyll
Loose tissue beneath the palisade layer of a leaf
Stoma
Opening in the underside of a leaf that allows carbon dioxide and oxygen to diffuse into and out of the leaf

(Got this from my textbook so here)
A) anorexia is starving yourself, binge eating is large amounts of food in one setting, and bulimia is eating a lot of food followed by purging.

Advantages: The crossing over of genes during meiosis results in individual variety, which is beneficial to the population's survival.
Disadvantages: It requires the use of two gametes.
Answer:
2.Biotic factors are dependent on abiotic factors for food and protection.
3.Abiotic factors affect the type and number of organisms that live in a particular ecosystem.
Explanation:
An ecosystem is an environment that contains both living and non-living parts that actively interacts together.
The living part of the ecosystem is the biotic factors and the non-living parts are the abiotic factors.
- The biotic components actively depends on the abiotic component for nourishment.
- This is exemplified through the process of photosynthesis.
- Also, the shelter of organisms are derived from the abiotic factors.
- The abiotic factors have significant impact on the type and number of organisms that live in an ecosystem.
