The biotic factors can be defined as those living elements of an ecosystem that affects the other members of the ecosystem and also shapes it. The examples include animals and plants. The abiotic factors can be defined as those elements which are non-living and have effect on the other components of the ecosystem. The examples include water, air, soil etc.
A rabbit having long ears in order to disperse heat is adapting to the abiotic factor, i.e. the heat.
The spines of cactus are an adaptation to another abiotic factor, water.
The bright red color of the petunia is to attract the hummingbirds for pollination. They are adapting to the biotic factor (hummingbird).
The blending ability of stick-bugs to hide in the trees is an adaptation to the biotic factor (predators).
The diving ability of the moth is an adaptation to the biotic factor bat, in order to escape predation.
The adaptation of the lizard to sun itself on the rock in order to stay warm is in response to an abiotic factor (heat).
Using antibiotics to decifer genetic code and fight the virus
<span>Igneous rocks, which are formed from cooled magma, are first weathered and eroded into small bits. These small bits, called sediment, will sometimes be carried into rivers and will be cemented and compacted together, forming sedimentary rocks.</span>
Initiating protective reflex actions is not a role of the basal nuclei
Explanation:
A reflex is the “simplest response” to Stimulus. The two examples of reflex are sneezing and blinking. The main role of reflex is to produces a quick motor response. Reflexes are “very fast” and most of reflexes not reach the brain. Reflex can be understood as blinking of eyes from any danger.
The main role of sensory neuron is to carry impulse from receptors to the spinal cord and motor neuron carry impulses from the spinal cord to the effectors.
