Answer:
Biotic: <em>Food availability</em>
Abiotic: <em>Temperature</em>
Explanation:
There are two types of limiting factors for biodiversity: biotic and abiotic. Biotic refers to living things, for example, organisms that are an important food source. <u>Most animal life forms in the ocean highly depend on the availability of a food source</u>. If food is limited or scarce, the populations of a given species could face significant declines.
On the other hand, there are abiotic factors, which refer to factors that are not alive, such as physical factors. For instance, temperature and light. <u>For marine organisms, temperature is a critical factor.</u> Even an increase of 'only' 1 ºC could make a huge difference in the survival of a species as it could disrupt their ability to forage, hunt, or perform physiological processes, <em>e.g.</em> metabolism.
Therefore, <u>if we refer to a biotic factor, food availability is a limiting factor for most animal life in the open ocean, whereas, if the refer to an abiotic factor, temperature (and light) are limiting factors for pelagic life.</u>
Viruses lack the properties of living things:
1. They have no energy metabolism
2. They do not grow
3. They do not respond to stimuli
4. They do not reproduce independently- they have to replicate by invading living cells.
Answer:
It is an answer to a scientific question and is based mostly on research.
Explanation:
Mendel five part hypothesis was also known as the law of segregation. This law explain the how traits are inherited in living organisms. Mendel's theory discovered that there are two alleles for a single gene and that one of these alleles is inherited from each parent, which forms the basis of the trait in the progeny(offspring).
Mendel’s hypothesis was considered true after various experiments and analysis and also answer the question of how the different traits are passed on from parent to progeny. This validates it being an answer to a scientific question and it being based mostly on research.
The correct answer for this question is "Epiglottis". The Epiglottis is responsible for cutting off the passage way to the airway while swallowing/eating food to prevent the food from being inhaled by the body.The Epiglottis has a leaf-like shape structure with a cartilage that covers the passage way into the air ways of the body.
