Technically you are able to argue both ends. Biotic factors are living things while abiotic factors are no living things. since the plant was once living, you can argue that it is a biotic factor, however, I would say the dead plant decay would be abiotic because it is not living anymore. I hope that helped!

In the desert food web shown below, which of the following best describes the transfer of energy between cacti and mule deer?
fgiga [73]
The correct option is B.
In the ecosystem, energy flows from one trophic level to the other. The first trophic level is that of the producers which use the energy of the sun to produce their own food. Out of the energy obtained from the sun by the producers only about 3% of it is converted into food products. The second trophic level is made up of the herbivores and the omnivores which eat the plant. Only about 10% of the energy from the plant is transferred to the animals in the second trophic level. These second trophic level animals will also transfer about 10% of the energy they obtain to the animals in the third trophic level when they are eaten. Thus, it can be seen that the energy that is transferred in the ecosystem is gradually reducing from one trophic level to another.

Answer:

a. bottleneck effect.

Explanation:

A bottleneck effect occurs when some adverse environmental conditions such as typhoons and famine reduce the population size considerably. The allele frequencies of the population are changed. As the population grows again, the gene pool has different allele frequencies than the original population. During population growth, some harmful alleles may become more abundant resulting in a rare disease such as achromatopsia. Therefore, the given population represents the bottleneck effect.
