Question 13

Abiotic Factors can vary in an ecosystem

Answer 13

.

Question 14

Abiotic factors are non-living such as Moisture level, Light Intensity, Temperature, Carbon Dioxide levels, Wind intensity, Oxygen levels, and Soil PH

Answer 14

.

Question 15

Different Organisms are adapted to different abiotic conditions

Answer 15

.

Question 16

Changes in Abiotic factors can affect populations

Answer 16

.

Question 17

A change in environment could be an increase or decrease in an abiotic factor for example an increase in light intensity

Answer 17

.

Question 18

Animals rely on plants for food so a decrease in plant population could affect the animal species in a community

Answer 18

.

Question 19

A decrease in light intensity, temperature, or carbon dioxide levels would decrease the rate of photosynthesis in a plant as this would affect the plant growth and decrease the population size
