Why would decaying logs in the woods not be an abiotic factor?

1 answer:

5 0

Abiotic factors include all the non living things present in the environment. Logs were part of a living tree and so it cannot be considered as an abiotic factor. Although the log is dead now, but it was part of a living thing before. I hope that this is the answer that has actually come to your desired help.

Lisa [10]

Answer:

The correct answer is - natural selection.

Explanation:

The change of an allele's frequency or microevolution in a particular population due to its fitness benefit it provides to the individuals of the population can be caused by the natural selection process. Relative reproductive success is a measure of Fitness.

The change of an allele's frequency in deleterious traits mostly decreases in a population and this process is known as adaptive evolution. There is no or very small number of relative reproductive success present.

The termite gut protist, Mixotricha paradoxa, has at least two kinds of bacteria attached to its outer surface. One kind is a sp

Answer:

1. mutualism

2. parasitism

3. symbiosis

Explanation:

Mixotricha paradoxa forms symbiotic relationships (Symbiosis is a relationship between two or more organisms that live closely together) with the termite.

Part of the morphological characteristics of the Mixotricha paradoxa are the presence of "at least two kinds of bacteria attached to its outer surface." This morphological characteristics assist the termites in alot of ways. One of this kind of he spirochete propels its host through the termite gut. A second type of bacteria synthesizes ATP, some of which is used by the spirochetes. The locomotion provided by the spirochetes introduces the ATP-producing bacteria to new food sources. (mutualism)

Mixotricha paradoxa helps to digests cellulose for the termite. We can now conclude that Mixotricha forms a mutualistic relationships (mutualism) with bacteria living inside the termite. This is because the termite has spherical bacteria inside the cell which function as mitochondria, which Mixotricha lacks.

The Mixotricha are also organized into layers of tissue. Without their presence in the termite gut, the termites would die because Mixotricha keep the species intact, but they are harmful in an indirect way (parasitism).
