Because it never lived... Its not a living thing

The correct answer is "Because it never lived ".

The reason why we consider water as abiotic because it never had life. We term a molecule/compound as biotic only when it is resulted from a living thing. Water has always existed in nature even when there was no life on this earth. So, it simply means that it didn't result from living beings. Water is considered as the non living part of the environment. Also, second option is partially correct because like begets like. But, the first living cell was also evolved from non living components of earth which is an exception to the second statement. So, the most appropriate answer to this question is option 4th "it never lived".

Which of the following best explains why herring gull chicks were one of the first species to exhibit the effects of pollution,
prohojiy [21]
The correct answer is A.
Toxins and various pollutants increase in concentration through the food chain in a process called biomagnification. This means that the organisms on the top of the food chain, like the herring gull, have many times greater concentration of toxins than the lower food chain level organisms because they prey on lower food chain level organisms. If a herring gull ears 100 herrings, it will have a 100x times greater concentration of toxins in its body than a herring.

During the late cretaceous, the bisti badlands were home to numerous animals including turtles, crocodiles, and even dinosaurs.
vaieri [72.5K]
These animals were living in an environment with a warm climate that results in changing sea levels. These conditions create a lot of shallow inland seas allowing these animals to thrive. The Cretaceous period is the last period of the Mesozoic area where new groups of mammals, birds, and flowering plants appeared on Earth.
