Answer:

D) the frequency of rainfall needed for the germination of desert plant seeds

Explanation:

When we talk about abiotic factors, we refer to the non-living factors. The abiotic components of an ecosystem include: Water, air, temperature, light, and the like.

So if we consider it as a limiting factor to population size, this should be the cause of the limitation.

Among all the choices, only D, shows an abiotic factor being the cause of population limiting. Rainfall is an abiotic factor (water), which influences the germination of desert plant seeds, specifically, it depends on the frequency of rainfall.

stiks02 [169]

The right answer is False.

An example of the degradates are the metabolites of the substances ingested.

Some chemicals in the environment enter the body and are unchanged when they are eliminated. Others are degrading. Degradation products may be more toxic or less toxic than the original chemical. Other chemicals are stored temporarily in the organs and are eliminated soon after. After a while, most chemicals and degradation products are disposed of as body waste, in the stool, urine, sweat and exhaled air.

vesna_86 [32]
Photosynthesis is a continuous cycle because plants constantly receive light, carbon dioxide, and water (assuming they're not kept in a dark room) to make glucose and release oxygen. Cellular respiration is a continuous cycle because as long as plants continue making glucose, ATP synthase continues.
