Answer:
Osmosis
Explanation:
Osmosis is the net movement of water across a selectively permeable membrane driven by a difference in solute concentrations on the two sides of the membrane.
Adhesion of water to the surface of a material will cause an upward force on the liquid. The surface tension acts to hold the surface intact. Capillary action occurs when the adhesion to the surface material is stronger than the cohesive forces between the water molecules.
<span>It may be difficult for ecologists to determine the size of a bird population if that population migrates to different locations throughout the year. During migration, some birds may split off from the group and not return, others may die, and still others may join. Therefore, the bird population will be in constant flux. It is hard to know, when the birds return to their prior location, if the population consists of the same group of birds (in addition to deaths and births) or whether it has grown or shrank through other means. However, to estimate the size, an ecologist can track a migratory flock through several years, counting each year to get a general sense of the population size. Additionally, given one measurement, an ecologist could consider the average lifespan and birth rates of the population to extrapolate the size of the population in subsequent years.</span>
Answer;
-Algae and fungi are biotic; temperature and rainfall are abiotic.
Explanation;
-Abiotic factors are the non-living parts of an environment. These include things such as sunlight, temperature, wind, water, soil and naturally occurring events such as storms, fires and volcanic eruptions.
-Biotic factors are the living parts of an environment, such as plants, animals and micro-organisms. These factors are living or once-living organisms in the ecosystem. These are obtained from the biosphere and are capable of reproduction. Examples of biotic factors are animals, birds, plants, fungi, and other similar organisms.
