Answer: The correct option is A (detritus).
Explanation:
The sea star also called the star fish belongs to the phylum echinodermata. They are slow moving marine animals living on the sea-shores and sea beds. They possess tube feet under their arms which enables them to move to location where they can obtain food.
During feeding, the star fish is capable of pouring digestive enzymes on the soft tissue of its prey. Once liquefied, it absorbs it into its stomach. The following are the different types of food that a star fish can feed on:
--> coral,
--> sponges,
--> clams,
--> oysters,
--> sand dollars, and mussels
They also feed on dead or decaying debris of different plants and animals. These dead or decaying debris are also called DETRITUS. A detritus is made up of leaves and other plant parts, animal remains and waste organic products that fall into water bodies from the kelp forests along the North American coastline.
Bacteria and fungi share only a few similarities. Both are cells and microscopic. Both the bacteria and fungi also has a cell wall and a cell membrane. However, these two cells are very much different with respect to each other in many ways. Bacteria, in terms of the cell wall, has a soft cell wall in which the main component is peptidoglycan while for fungi their cell wall is mostly made up of chitin which makes it hard. Bacteria grows by binary fission while fungi grows through branching and elongation. <em>Penicillium</em> is a genus of a fungi with a major role in antibiotic production. Therefore <em>Penicillium</em> share the same characteristics with fungi.
I believe Biotic factors is the term for living organisms & Abiotic factors is the term for Non- living factors such as water , air , temperature & soil .
