What are abiotic factors? how can they affect the population dynamics? give some examples?

1 answer:

4 0

Abiotic factors are things that aren't living that effect an environment, like pH (how acidic the soil is), the temperature, amount of light, and so on. These can effect a population by making it more difficult to survive, perhaps creating more competition over available resources and so on. So for example, if the soil is really acidic in an area, a population of plants may not be able to grow well in that environment.

Answer:

Cell level organization

Explanation:

Organisms are composed of different level of organizations like atomic level, molecular level, cell level, tissue level, organ level, system level after which whole organism if formed.

If we talk about Arachnoidiscus ehrenbergi it is one celled organism belonging to a group of algae. If we talk about human stomach it is an organ made up of several tissues which in-turn are made up of several cells.

So what is common in both?

It is a cell that is common in both, because cell is the basic unit for life of Arachnoidiscus ehrenbergi and a unit of the composition of whole stomach.

Hope it help!

Hello. this is very simple. i know it and im in middle school. dont highschoolers know that you can just ask google and get a verified answer in just a few seconds?

sighs, well i guess older kids dont get technology as much as we do.

no offense, but seriously if you pay more attention in class you might not be asking this silly question right now.

Molecule which enzyme acts on = the substrate. 5. Substrate molecule is held within the active site by bonds that temporarily form between certain amino acids of the active site and groups on the substrate molecule. ... This folds in a particular way = each enzyme has a specific tertiary structure.

timofeeve [1]

Hello!

I am not given any options, but I can explain the question to you.

A biotic factor is anything that is living in the ecosystem, such as animals, plants, fungi, and bacteria.

An abiotic factor is anything that is not living but the ecosystem needs to thrive, such as sunlight, oxygen, good temperature, living space, etc.

For example, let's say we had options below.

A. Sunlight
B. Living Space
C. Moss
D. Oxygen

As you can see, all of our options are beneficial to an ecosystem, but moss is the only one that is living. In this scenario, our answer would be C. Moss, as it is a biotic but not an abiotic factor.

I hope this helps!
