Why is predation considered a biotic factor in marine systems?

Biology

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!

1. How do fossils form?
noname [10]

Explanation:

There is a LOOOONG process for this so here it is;  

First things first.The animal dies. Soft parts of the animal's body, including skin and muscles, start to rot away. Scavengers may come and eat some of the remains.  Before the body disappears completely, it is buried by sediment - usually mud, sand or silt. Often at this point only the bones and teeth remain.  Many more layers of sediment build up on top. This puts a lot of weight and pressure onto the layers below, squashing them. Eventually, they turn into sedimentary rock.  While this is happening, water seeps into the bones and teeth, turning them to stone as it leaves behind minerals.  This process can take thousands or even millions of years.

I hope this answer helped. Thank you!
