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:
Correct answer is A. "making future predictions about plant behavior "
Explanation:
The most important part of the question is "overcrowded area" which leads to the future concerned scenario of modern societies. We know that, in future, the supply of resources/nutrients will be limited and thus we want to develop sustainable practices. For this, scientists often carry out the experiments where the organisms are forced to live/grow in a crowded area and then we understand how each individual responds in the presence of limited resource supply. In this experiment, I perceive that the scientist is doing a similar kind of study for a specific plant which will help him assess the future concerns of growth and development for that species as well as its interaction with the environment.
Answer:
Not necessary.
Explanation:
No need for the revision of big band theory because this galaxy may be a product of big band event. At the start this galaxy is shorter and hot but with the passage of millions of years, this galaxy also expands and formation of stars and planets occurs. The stars and planets that are present in the galaxy occurs due to different events that is responsible for their current conditions. This formation of stars and planets needs millions of years.
