A process for investigation and experimentation
Compounds are made up of atoms that are bonded together. In a mixture, the atom or compound in the mixture are physically combined, therefore not bonded together. To put it simply, mixtures keep their properties while compounds do not.
Hi again!
Biotic factors are factors which involve living things. In predation, there is a direct connection/correlation between the predator and prey population.
In terms of thinking biotically, we need to look at how living things are involved in predation.
I want you to look at all of these choices, and see if they have any connection to actual living things.
While predation may in some small way prevent populations from growing too large, is that why we consider it a biotic factor? Well, a lot of abiotic factors keep populations shrunk. This isn't a telltale sign of being biotic.
Look through each answer choice and make this connection. Each answer appears to be like this, except for B.
B directly tells us that it is interaction between living things, which is what being biotic truly means. So, with this in mind - the best answer here is B.
Hopefully, this helps!
It is important to protect biodiversity because it is the key to a sustainable and productive ecosystem. Biodiversity enables most, if not all, of the niches of an ecosystem to be filled. It also serves to protect the food web within the ecosystem, for the higher the biodiversity the lower the effects of removing or changing a species.
