Biology
1 answer:
Maslowich2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Parent material is the underlying geological material (generally bedrock or a superficial or drift deposit) in which soil horizons form. Soils typically inherit a great deal of structure and minerals from their parent material, and, as such, are often classified based upon their contents of consolidated or unconsolidated mineral material that has undergone some degree of physical or chemical weathering and the mode by which the materials were most recently transported.

charle [14.2K]

Answer:

The correct answer is A. scavengers and B. producers

Explanation:

Two types of factors are found in a biome biotic and abiotic factor. All the living things in any biome comes under biotic factors like animals, plants, and microbes and all the non-living things present in the biome are non-biotic factors for example soil, temperature, air, water, salt, etc.

So biome is made up of both living and non-living factors. Scavengers are the organisms that feed on dead and decaying matter and producers are the organisms that make their own food. Most of the producers are plants.  

So both scavengers and producers are living organisms therefore both are examples of biotic factors.
