No, biotic and abiotic factors are the environmental conditions that the organisms have to face to live in a specified environment. Abiotic factors are the physical and chemical conditions of an environment. For example : heat, salinity, pressure, light, wind, pH.Biotic factors are all the biological conditions of an environment for a specie/taxa. It can include prey and predator abundance, available food amount, available space, intra and interspecific competition... The development of organims is under the control of abiotic factors. Some are adapted to heat, cold etc ... The abiotic factors will define which organisms are able or not to live in a specified place. The living organisms will constitute the biotic factors, which define if and how can an organism live in a specified environment. So, the abiotic factors are controling the biotic factors of an environment.
A substance that releases hydroxyl ions in water is a base. Acids on the other hand release hydrogen ions when dissolved in water, while salts release sodium. To define acids and bases the Arrhenius definition is used by scientists---this describes what substances are produce by each type of solutions. Under the Arrhenius definition salt and water can be used to predict the result of the neutralization of an acid with a base.
In Chemistry, Bronsted-Lowry definition has superseded the Arrehenius definition.
That would be called a source or head water
The correct answer is option A, that is, Phylum Porifera.
The species of Phylum Porifera are aquatic, that is, mostly marine. They exhibit cellular grade of the body, they are diploblastic animals with asymmetrical symmetry. They lack body cavity and exhibits a holozoic mode of nutrition with intracellular digestion.
They lack circulatory and nervous system and possess the tendency to regenerate their parts of the body. The organisms in phylum Porifera exhibits both asexual and sexual mode of reproduction.
