Question

Which describes a population depending on an abiotic factor? *

A; A bean plant does not grow well because it is planted where there are many weedy
plants.
B; Coral reef organisms carry out photosynthesis using the sunlight that passes through
from the water above.
C; Squirrels eat eggs from a bird's nest.

Answer 1

Option B

Step-by-step explanation:

Terminology: Abiotic means something non-living.

A) Plants (referring to 'weedy plants') are organisms, so they do not fit the criteria of being an abiotic factor that controls the population of the bean plant.

B) Sunlight is an abiotic factor since it is a non-living thing.

C) Squirrels are living organisms, so they do not count as an abiotic factor.

We can conclude that option B describes a population depending on an abiotic factor.

Hope this helps :)
