Producers are called producers because when they take in carbon dioxide and water, and they produce glucose and oxygen. Animals need oxygen to survive and producers are the reason that all of the animals on earth haven't used up all the oxygen in the atmosphere. We need producers to survive, otherwise the Earth would be carbon dioxide rich and we humans couldn't breath it.
Biotic Factors are any living components that affect other organisms, and since soil is not alive (soil is an abiotic factor) then you can eliminate A., B., and C. D is the answer choice that has only biotic examples.
The solution in the berzelius glass has a concentration of 50%, the other solution has a concentration of 30%. In osmosis water moves from the solution with a lower concentration to the solution with the higher concentration. Therefore, water will move from the 5%glucose,25%starch solution to the 20%glucose, 20%K⁺,10% iodine.
