Answer:

Number 1 is 4

Number 2 is 3

Number 3 is 1

Explanation:

QUESTION 1:

Adaptation is a modification or change in an organism's body or behavior that helps it to survive and reproduce in its environment. An organism needs to adjust to their environment to be able to survive the climatic conditions of the ecosystem, predators and other species that compete for the same food and space.

QUESTION 2:

The first example depicts the clown fish possessing structural features that enables it keep away predators (sea anemones), hence, ensuring its survival in the aquatic environment.

The second example shows a bear with a structural feature (white fur) making it able to survive the polar (cold) region.

The third example is not a feature to enable survival, it is just an action to keep warm.

QUESTION 3:

Behavioral adaptation is the process by which an organism or a species changes its pattern of action to better suit its environment. Any behavior or action that helps ensure the survival of an organism can be considered BEHAVIORAL adaptations. They are the things organisms do to survive, which is contrary to structural adaptation, which is the already possessed physical features that makes them better adapted.

In this example, the group of animals take an action by migrating from a cold to warm region in order to survive

lidiya [134]

Answer:

The correct answer is "negative".

Explanation:

At pH 2 the net charge of the R groups of all the amino acids that comprise the peptide in question would be positive. This happens because of the high content of protons in a solution of pH 2, a value that is below the isoelectric point of all the amino acids. Since the peptide would have a positive net charge, it would migrate to the negative terminal of the gel because opposite charges attract each other.

What is an example of a biotic factor in a biome?: * A. scavengers B. producers C. soil
charle [14.2K]

Answer:

The correct answer is A. scavengers and B. producers

Explanation:

Two types of factors are found in a biome biotic and abiotic factor. All the living things in any biome comes under biotic factors like animals, plants, and microbes and all the non-living things present in the biome are non-biotic factors for example soil, temperature, air, water, salt, etc.

So biome is made up of both living and non-living factors. Scavengers are the organisms that feed on dead and decaying matter and producers are the organisms that make their own food. Most of the producers are plants.  

So both scavengers and producers are living organisms therefore both are examples of biotic factors.
