Why is predation considered a biotic factor in marine systems?

Hi again!

Biotic factors are factors which involve living things. In predation, there is a direct connection/correlation between the predator and prey population.

In terms of thinking biotically, we need to look at how living things are involved in predation.

I want you to look at all of these choices, and see if they have any connection to actual living things.

While predation may in some small way prevent populations from growing too large, is that why we consider it a biotic factor? Well, a lot of abiotic factors keep populations shrunk. This isn't a telltale sign of being biotic.

Look through each answer choice and make this connection. Each answer appears to be like this, except for B.

B directly tells us that it is interaction between living things, which is what being biotic truly means. So, with this in mind - the best answer here is B.

Hopefully, this helps!

All of the following contributes to turbulent blood flow except A) when there are irregularities in the vessel wall. B) at high

GaryK [48]

All of the following contributes to turbulent blood flow except third and fourth heart sounds.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

The blood flow in human body is always described to be laminar. Some conditions cause the high flow when there is an ascending aorta. This causes the laminar flow of blood into turbulent. When this occurs the flow of the blood will not be smooth and linear.

When the kinetic energy in the fluid flow increases the turbulent flow of blood occurs. Both the magnitude and the direction of the flow changes in this type of blood flow. These are caused by the irregularities in the vessel walls, flow rates to ne higher and opening of the valves of the heart.
