Which of these is an example of an abiotic factor
1 answer:
Answer:
Explanation:
An abiotic factor is a part of an ecosytem, but it is not alive. Some examples include water, rocks, sunlight, and the atmosphere.
On the other hand, a biotic factor is a living part of an ecosystem. Some examples are animals, plants, and fungi.
Let's look at the answer choices.
A creosote plant (choice A) kangaroo rat (choice C) and coyote (choice D) are all living organisms. Therefore, they must be biotic factors.
However, rocky desert soil (choice B) is not living. It's a part of the ecosystem, but since it's not alive it must be <u>abiotic.</u>

Answer:
A nerve impulse from one neuron affects the activity of a neighboring neuron at a point of interaction called the: SYNAPSE
Explanation:
A NEURON(or nerve cell) has 3 parts:
1. The dendrites(multiple)
2. The axon
3. The cell body
A SYNAPSE is an area where the dendrites of one neuron communicates with the axon of another neuron.
At the synapse, nerve impulses are transmitted from one neuron to the other. This is possible through substances called NEUROTRANSMITTERS. There is no direct contact between the axon of one neuron and dendrites of another neuron.
