Answer:
Abiotic components of an ecosystem are water, air, light, soil, and temperature.
Now think about how the availability of these things will affect what could live in a specific area.
Consider a desert ecosystem. Deserts are arid, receiving little rain (water) and have extreme temperatures (both cold and hot). Because of these conditions only certain plants and animals can live here. These plants and animals have adaptations that are specific to the environment. If you were to put an organism that does not belong in there, they would most likely die out.
Tidbit for you. The Atacama desert is one of the driest places in the world, located specifically in Chile. At one point, this place did not receive any rain for 500 years! Still plants and animals are able to live in this area. When it finally did rain, the sudden downpour caused a radical change in this ecosystem. You would think at first rain would be good, but no. Because the changes the rain brought was too drastic, it caused a devastating effect on the organisms that lived there because they were not adapted to rain.
Answer:
Edaphon, Leaf litter and earthworm
Explanation:
- Edaphon is the general term used to reffer to the animals and plants present in the soil.
- On the other hand, there is not only one name for the fallen leaves on the forest floor. It could be either plant litter, leaf litter or even tree littler. Although the name suggests it is only leaves, this <u>plant litter</u> could include leaves, barks and twigs that can fall off a tree.
- The edaphon its made up of thousands of organisms including a huge number of bacteria, fungi, and arthropods. A good example of organisms living in the soil is an earthworm. Earthworms crawl through the soil feeding from it, digesting part of the organic material and fertilizing it with their excrement.
Answer: A neuron has three main parts: dendrites, an axon, and a cell body or soma , which can be represented as the branches, roots and trunk of a tree, respectively. A dendrite (tree branch) is where a neuron receives input from other cells. Dendrites branch as they move towards their tips, just like tree branches do, and they even have leaf-like structures on them called spines.
The axon (tree roots) is the output structure of the neuron; when a neuron wants to talk to another neuron, it sends an electrical message called an action potential throughout the entire axon.
The features of neurons help them to carry out their function efficiently:
they have a long fibre (axon) so they can carry messages up and down the body over long distances
in a stimulated neuron, an electrical nerve impulse passes along the axon
the axon is insulated by a fatty (myelin) sheath - the fatty sheath increases the speed of the nerve impulses along the neuron
at each end of the neuron are tiny branches (dendrons), which branch even further into dendrites - the dendrites receive incoming nerve impulses from other neurons

Gerbils do not consume a lot of water due to that they originated from desert environments.</span>
Note that it is asking for conservation and management of water:
Use technology to produce clean water. If technology can be used to create more clean water without losing natural resources, by all means use technology for it.
Use water wisely at home and in industry. This is the definition of conserving water and managing usage of water.
Use techniques and tools to reduce water loss. This is the pathway to conserving water.
Those that are in a grey area:
Take care of living things that live in water. This should occur, and it is managing the water condition, but as for conserving water, that is a different story.
Encourage recreational activities year-round. Recreational activities usually do not have to do with water in a major way, but year-round is a bit too much. Of course, if all these recreational activities use large amounts of water, then it will end up in the "not" section.
Those that are not:
Stop using water in all areas of life. You will need to drink water first off, and a human cannot survive for longer than 3 days without water. You also need water to help you stay clean, as well as other tasks.
Your definite correct answers are the first 3 listed, and the 2 after is up to how you view if it is both managing as well as conserving water.
