Answer: C. The amount of light

Explanation:

Abiotic factors are the non-living factors including the soil, water, sunlight and others. These factors affect both positively and negativity the living species in an ecosystem.

The amount of light is the abiotic factor that will affect the freshwater ecosystem. The light is required by the plants or other autotrophic organisms for the process of photosynthesis. These autotrophs produce food over which the diversity of aquatic fauna is dependent. Therefore, the amount of light available to distinct zones of the water body is important in order to sustain life of those organisms living in the zones.

If the amount of light is more this may lead to drastic increase in the temperature of the water body. The increase in the temperature may not prove to be suitable for the survival of the living species in water.

How do limiting factors affect individual species and populations within a community?

kompoz [17]

Limited factors would mean that as the population in a community grows individual species would have to compete for those limited factors as the population reaches its carrying capacity. Also, the population as a whole would only be able to reach a certain number before falling due to there not being enough of the limited factors (ex. food) for that population to continue growing exponentially.

Answer:

Cell respiration begins with Glycolysis .

Explanation:

Glycolysis is the first and initial step in the cellular respiration. Cellular respiration is the anaerobic process, which takes place in cytosol of the cells. Two molecule of pyruvate(CH3COCOO-) are formed from 1 molecule of glucose(C6H12O6)through glycolysis. The NADH and ATP are high energy molecules formed when the free energy are released. It is the process which takes place through a series of ten enzyme catalysed reactions. 10 enzymes are required to break down the sugar molecule. It occurs in cytoplasm.
