How can an abiotic factor affect a biotic factor

1 answer:

4 0

Biotic and abiotic factors are the environmental conditions that the organisms have to face to live in a specified environment.

-Abiotic factors-
Abiotic factors are the physical and chemical conditions of an environment. For example : heat, salinity, pressure, light, wind, pH ...

-Biotic factors-
Biotic factors are all the biological conditions of an environment for a specie/taxa. It can include prey and predator abundance, available food amount, available space, intra and interspecific competition...

The development of organims is under the control of abiotic factors. Some are adapted to heat, cold etc ... The abiotic factors will define which organisms are able or not to live in a specified place.

The living organisms will constitute the biotic factors, which define if and how can an organism live in a specified environment.
So, the abiotic factors are controling the biotic factors of an environment.

Hope it helps you !

What type of solution has the capacity to dissolve more solute?

AfilCa [17]

Answer:

The answer to this is

Unsaturated solution

Explanation:

An unsaturated solution has the property of having a solute concentration lower than the the solubility at equilibrium at a given temperature hence it has the capacity to dissolve more solutes. Is is a solution containing a lower amount of solute than a saturated solution

The two processes that occur on dissolving a solute in a solvent are dissolution and crystallization and in an unsaturated solution the rate of dissolution is greater than the rate of crystallization

What is the total energy change for the following reaction: CO + H2O -> CO2 + H2?

liubo4ka [24]

1)Delta H=(Delta H of reactants)-(Delta H of products)

2)And we know CO have 3 bond CO and CO2 have 2 bond that each of them are 2 bond, please see the picture!

so lets answer it:

$(3 \times 358) + (2 \times 463) - (4 \times 358) - 436 = 132$

A sample of nitrogen is initially at a pressure of 1.7 kPa, a temperature of -10 C and a volume of 7.5 m3. Then the volume is de

zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

$\boxed{\text{2.6 kPa}}$

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we can use the Combined Gas Laws:

$\dfrac{p_{1}V_{1} }{T_{1}} = \dfrac{p_{2}V_{2} }{T_{2}}$

Data:

p₁ = 1.7 kPa; V₁ = 7.5 m³; T₁ = -10 °C

p₂ = ?; V₂ = 3.8 m³; T₂ = 200 K

Calculations:

(a) Convert temperature to kelvins

T₁ = (-10 + 273.15) K = 263.15 K

(b) Calculate the pressure

$\begin{array}{rcl}\dfrac{1.7 \times 7.5 }{263.15} & = & \dfrac{p_{2} \times 3.8}{200}\\\\0.0485 & = & 0.0190p_{2}\\p_{2} & = & \textbf{2.6 kPa}\\\end{array}\\\text{The new pressure of the gas is \boxed{\textbf{2.6 kPa}}}$

A student submits the following work on the mass number, but he has made a few mistakes. Select the sentences that are incorrect

rewona [7]

Answer

Calculating the mass number for an atom requires that we know the atomic number and the number of protons in the atom’s nucleus. The mass number then gives us the average weight of atoms of a given element. However, as long as the number of protons equals the number of neutrons, the values balance out and we always obtain a whole number for the mass number.
