Answer:
The 2 ways abiotic factors affect biotic factors are as follows:
- An alligator submerges itself under water to stay cool in the summer.
- A naked mole rat creates burrows underground.
Explanation:
Abiotic Factors:
All non-living factors that is present or influences an ecosystem. Abiotic factors determine the dynamics of an ecosystem such as the terrain, the atmosphere as well as the inhabitant flora and fauna. Water, sunlight, oxygen, temperature, and soil are all abiotic factors.
Biotic Factors:
All living factors in an ecosystem i.e. the plants and animals.
Lets analyze all the options:
- A bird picking food out of an alligator's teeth is an interaction between 2 biotic factors, the bird and the alligator or in another case, the bird and the food.
- Water being oxygenated is an interaction between 2 abiotic factors: water and oxygen.
Answer:
The number of habitats falls below a critical level.
Explanation:
The possible reason for extinction is that the number of habitats falls below a critical level. This makes it impossible for organisms to survive.
- A habitat is the dwelling place of living organism in an ecosystem.
- The resources and other materials that ensures the survival of an organism are made available in the habitat.
- When a habitat begins to thin out and can no longer support organisms, then extinction will ensue.
