Soil,atmosphere.

When it comes to ecosystems, a mountain, a river, and a cloud have more in common than you might think. Abiotic factors have specific and important roles in nature because they help shape and define ecosystems.
Biotic and Abiotic Factors
An ecosystem is defined as any community of living and non-living things that work together. Ecosystems do not have clear boundaries, and it may be difficult to see where one ecosystem ends and another begins. In order to understand what makes each ecosystem unique, we need to look at the biotic and abiotic factors within them. Biotic factors are all of the living organisms within an ecosystem. These may be plants, animals, fungi, and any other living things. Abiotic factors are all of the non-living things in an ecosystem.

Both biotic and abiotic factors are related to each other in an ecosystem, and if one factor is changed or removed, it can affect the entire ecosystem. Abiotic factors are especially important because they directly affect how organisms survive.

Examples of Abiotic Factors
Abiotic factors come in all types and can vary among different ecosystems. For example, abiotic factors found in aquatic systems may be things like water depth, pH, sunlight, turbidity (amount of water cloudiness), salinity (salt concentration), available nutrients (nitrogen, phosphorous, etc.), and dissolved oxygen (amount of oxygen dissolved in the water). Abiotic variables found in terrestrial ecosystems can include things like rain, wind, temperature, altitude, soil, pollution, nutrients, pH, types of soil, and sunlight.

The boundaries of an individual abiotic factor can be just as unclear as the boundaries of an ecosystem. Climate is an abiotic factor - think about how many individual abiotic factors make up something as large as a climate. Natural disasters, such as earthquakes, volcanoes, and forest fires, are also abiotic factors. These types of abiotic factors certainly have drastic effects on the ecosystems they encounter.

A special type of abiotic factor is called a limiting factor. Limiting factors keep populations within an ecosystem at a certain level. They may also limit the types of organisms that inhabit that ecosystem. Food, shelter, water, and sunlight are just a few examples of limiting abiotic factors that limit the size of populations. In a desert environment, these resources are even scarcer, and only organisms that can tolerate such tough conditions survive there. In this way, the limiting factors are also limiting which organisms inhabit this ecosystem.

Students are completing a table about a particular subatomic particle that helps make up an atom.
defon

Answer: option B.with “Inside the nucleus,” because the particle is a neutron.

Explanation:

You have to <u><em>complete this table</em></u>:

mass | location | charge

  1            ?          Has no charge

<em>The atom</em> is constituted by <em>3 subatomic particles</em>, namely electron, proton, and neutron.

Since the gold foil experiment performed by Geiger and Marsden (1909), who collaborated with Ernest Rutherford, it  was stablished that the atom contains a dense positively charged nucleus, which has almost all the mass of the atom.

The positive charge comes from the subatomic particle named proton.

A few time later, a second subatomic particle inside the nucleus, was discovered. This particle has not charge and has almost the same mass than the proton. Because the absence of charge it was named <em>neutron</em>.

Hence, the relative masses of the protons and neutrons are 1 / 1. As said, both are in the <em>nucleus</em>, and while the proton has positive charge, the <em>neutron has no charge</em>. So, <em>the table is completed with inside the nucleus, because the particle is a neutron</em><em>:</em>

mass    |     location                        |    charge

  1              inside the nucleus         Has no charge

It could be a lump of coal.
Since you can break pieces off, maybe charcoal ... the real thing, not a "briquet".
