Answer:
1. A. Pseudomonas and E. coli
2. B. Red without black center
3. B. Salmon/orange
Explanation:
Pseudomonas is referred to as an oxidase positive bacteria while E. Coli is an oxidase negative bacteria. The use of the oxidase test will be helpful in the differentiation of the two Bacteria according to their oxidase activity/properties.
Colonies of Red without black center color is what is expected on HE agar if shigellosis is suspected.
Colonies of Salmon/Orange color is what is expected on HE agar if Enterococcus sp. is suspected.
The population must be infinitely large!

Answer:
The 2 ways abiotic factors affect biotic factors are as follows:
- An alligator submerges itself under water to stay cool in the summer.
- A naked mole rat creates burrows underground.
Explanation:
Abiotic Factors:
All non-living factors that is present or influences an ecosystem. Abiotic factors determine the dynamics of an ecosystem such as the terrain, the atmosphere as well as the inhabitant flora and fauna. Water, sunlight, oxygen, temperature, and soil are all abiotic factors.
Biotic Factors:
All living factors in an ecosystem i.e. the plants and animals.
Lets analyze all the options:
- A bird picking food out of an alligator's teeth is an interaction between 2 biotic factors, the bird and the alligator or in another case, the bird and the food.
- Water being oxygenated is an interaction between 2 abiotic factors: water and oxygen.
