12. [could be both]
In order to see if something is Biotic or Abiotic, think about whether it’s alive or not.
Dissolve oxygen is just the oxygen levels in the ocean, it’s not really a living thing. While it does effect the environment, it’s abiotic because it isn’t living. Fish, however, are are biotic because they’re alive.
If you’re ever confused, just think about the basic things all living things have, which is cells, and apply it to the question. Does changing weather have cells? Nope. do trees have cells? Yep!
Also, for the Fertile soil, I said it could be both because of what’s in the soil. Fertile soil has biotic factors in it, like dead animal stuff and dead plant stuff. (Anything that was once living, even if it’s dead, is still considered a biotic by the way). I think your best bet would be to put biotic, but I might be wrong
But yeah, in summary, Biotic means living, Abiotic means non living, and in order to see which is which, ask yourself if whatever you’re questioning has cells. Good luck
Symbiotic Relationships :
A long term relationship between two biotic factors, where at least one benefits
Mutualism= symbiotic relationship where both organisms benefit (+,+) o Example- rhino & woodpecker (rhino gets rid of parasites and bird gets food)
Parasitism = symbiotic relationship where one benefits and the other is harmed, but not typically to the point of death (+,-) o Example- tapeworm in an animal, tick or flea on a dog (parasite benefits at the expense of the host)
Commensalism = symbiotic relationship where one benefits and the other is neither helped nor harmed (+, 0) o Example- barnacles on a scallop (barnacles get a habitat/place to attach while the scallop is not hurt or helped by their presence).
Symbiotic Relationships:
In symbiosis, two or more species live together in a close, long term association. Symbiotic relationships can be beneficial to both organisms or may benefit one organism and leave the other harmed or unaffected. Parasitism is one type of symbiotic relationship that is detrimental to, or harms, the host organism. In this relationship, one organism feeds on and usually lives in another, typically larger, organism. Mutualism is a symbiotic relationship in which both participating species benefit. A well known instance of mutualism involves ants and aphids. The ants feed on fluid the aphids secrete, and in exchange, the ants protect the aphids from insect predators. A third from of symbiosis is commensalism, a symbiotic relationship in which one species benefits and the other is neither harmed nor helped. Among the best-known examples of commensalism are the feeding and protection relationships between certain small tropical fishes and sea anemones, marine animals that have stinging tentacles.
Hope that helps!!!!!! :)
The four terrestrial planets are known as Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars, they are all rocky planets composed primarily of silicate rocks and/or metals. They are all the planets closest to the sun in our Solar System. The Gas Giant's or Jovian Planets and <span>are composed mainly of a combination of gases/elements: </span>hydrogen<span>, </span>helium<span>, and </span>water<span> that exist in various </span><span>physical states. These are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. Behind them is the dwarf planet Pluto (which has recently been re-instated officially as a planet), this is located in the Kuiper Belt.</span>
<u>Answer:</u>
<em>Reduction of sulfur compounds and the release of hydrogen sulfide is happening here.</em>
<u>Explanation:</u>
Sulfur is an important element in the sulfur cycle. Sulfur compounds can be found on earth in various forms. They can be found in mineral rocks and organic matter. It is the <em>work of bacteria to reduce sulfur</em> compounds and convert them to sulfides.
There are different types of bacteria that reduce various sulfur containing compounds. They are <em>sulfate-reducing bacteria, sulfur-reducing bacteria, sulfite reducing bacteria etc.</em> In a swamp there is low oxygen availability and organic matter decays in this condition.
<em>The sulfate reducing bacteria oxidizes the organic matter and releases Hydrogen sulfide.</em>
The answer is b, decrease the oxygen gas pressure
