Answer:
Explanation:
An abiotic factor is a part of an ecosytem, but it is not alive. Some examples include water, rocks, sunlight, and the atmosphere.
On the other hand, a biotic factor is a living part of an ecosystem. Some examples are animals, plants, and fungi.
Let's look at the answer choices.
A creosote plant (choice A) kangaroo rat (choice C) and coyote (choice D) are all living organisms. Therefore, they must be biotic factors.
However, rocky desert soil (choice B) is not living. It's a part of the ecosystem, but since it's not alive it must be <u>abiotic.</u>
Answer:
B

<u>Answer</u>: Bacteria through the nucleoid (number 5).
<u>Explanation</u>:
Both paramecium and bacteria are single celled organisms. However, they differ by the fact that the first one is an eukaryote and the second one a prokaryote.
Furthermore, they differ in their capacity to mutate and adapt to environmental changes. Bacteria have a simple internal structure that lacks any organelles and are very adept at adapting to environmental changes. Besides their capacity for high mutation rates, they are also capable of picking up genetic information from their environment through a process called <em>transformation</em>.
Through transofrmation, environmental DNA enter the living bacteria through its cell membrane. Double stranded DNA will have one strand dissolved through hydrolysis, whereas the second strand may recombine with the bacterial <em>chromosome (nucleoid)</em>. Thus, this new genetic material will become incorporated into the bacterium's genome.
Electron microscope‘s differ from light microscope’s in that they produce an image of specimen by using a beam of electrons rather than a beam of light. Electrons have such a shorter wavelength than visible light, and this allows electron microscope to produce higher resolution images than standard light microscope‘s
