Answer:
c. predation, competition, parasitism
Explanation:
The important and only biotic factors from the given choices that can affect the structure and organization of biological communities are predation, competition and parasitism.
These factors ensures that there are interaction between organisms of the same and different species and only occur in life.
Biotic factors are the living component of the ecosystem that dictates what happens therein.
- Predation is an interaction between two organisms in which the predator, bigger organism feeds on the prey, smaller organism.
- Competition occurs where two organism of the same or different species struggles for limited resources in the ecosystem.
- Parasitism is an interaction where one organism feeds on the another and it causes harm to it. The organism feeding on another is called the parasite. And the one it is dependent on is the host.
All of these are biotic factors.
That is because work requires energy. According to the law of conservation of energy, it cannot be created or destroyed. When doing work, energy change forms and gets transferred to the object until it is released.
for example, when you lift up an object and place it on a higher elevation, you transferred energy to it and gave it potential energy. The potential energy is transformed into kinetic energy when the object falls down, and if it hits a surface, the energy will scatter, vibrating the areas around it and producing sound.
Also, work= force X distance. The energy does not go away, but rather get changed into some other form of energy
