Because water has a higher boiling point, it has a stronger force of attraction between its particles. 
To get a substance to boil (transition to gas phase) the amount of kinetic energy between the particles has to exceed the attractive forces keeping the molecules near each other. Since temperature is an indirect measurement of the kinetic energy in a system, we can determine that a higher boiling point means greater attractive forces must be overcome.

Water (a polar molecule) has a large amount of<em> hydrogen bonding</em> creating a strong attractive force, which keeps the molecules near each other. Methane does not have hydrogen bonding, as it is a nonpolar molecule.

Describe how organisms in the tropical rainforest both depend on and compete for biotic and abiotic factors. In your answer, ide
nadezda [96]

What are biotic and abiotic factors?

Biotic and abiotic are the two essential factors responsible for shaping the ecosystem. The biotic factors refer to all the living beings present in an ecosystem, and the abiotic factors refer to all the non-living components like physical conditions (temperature, pH, humidity, salinity, sunlight, etc.) and chemical agents (different gases and mineral nutrients present in the air, water, soil, etc.) in an ecosystem. Therefore, both the abiotic and biotic resources affect the survival and reproduction process.

Answer:

Abiotic factors in the tropical rainforest include humidity, soil composition, temperature, and sunlight. A limiting factor in the ecosystem is that canopy layers block sunlight from reaching the forest floor, causing shorter plants to not be able to grow. Biotic factors in the tropical rainforest include orchids, lilies, heliconia, and bromeliads. Tropical rainforests can have various fungi, shrubs, herbs, woody vines, lichens, and mosses. The trees making up the rainforest canopy include the tonka bean wood, teak, rubber, and several species of evergreens and palm trees. This way the organisms in the tropical rainforest both depend on biotic and abiotic factors.
