Alpha particles travel through the air they collide with oxygen and nitrogen molecules. While they collide with these molecules, they lose some energy until all energy are used up and they are absorbed. These particles can be absorbed by a sheet of paper or by the air. On the other hand, beta particles and gamma particles move faster than the alpha particles and are poor at ionizing atoms or molecules thus it takes more of the material to be able to absorb these particles.
There are several possibilities. Here are a few that occur to me:
-- If Point-A is the summit of Pike's Peak, he may feel somewhat
short of breath.
-- If Point-A is his grandmother's house, he may feel a great sense
of pleasant anticipation.
-- If Point-A is his office on Monday morning, then he may feel
a tightening sensation in his chest.;
-- If Point-A is his home on Friday afternoon, then he feels the
effects of a slow and steady drop in his blood pressure.
I finer point might be put to it if we had any idea of where
Point-A is, and what it represents in the grand scheme
of things.
Answer:
c. predation, competition, parasitism
Explanation:
The important and only biotic factors from the given choices that can affect the structure and organization of biological communities are predation, competition and parasitism.
These factors ensures that there are interaction between organisms of the same and different species and only occur in life.
Biotic factors are the living component of the ecosystem that dictates what happens therein.
- Predation is an interaction between two organisms in which the predator, bigger organism feeds on the prey, smaller organism.
- Competition occurs where two organism of the same or different species struggles for limited resources in the ecosystem.
- Parasitism is an interaction where one organism feeds on the another and it causes harm to it. The organism feeding on another is called the parasite. And the one it is dependent on is the host.
All of these are biotic factors.
