Which describes a population depending on an abiotic factor?

As the options are not mentioned for the question, lets have a look at the abiotic factors generally.

Explanation:

An ecosystem includes the biotic and abiotic factors. The biotic factors are the living components of the ecosystem. The abiotic factors are the non- living components of the ecosystem. The abiotic factors include factors like water, sunlight, soil etc of the ecosystem. Both the biotic and abiotic components are equally important in the survival of an organism in the ecosystem.

b would be the right answer

4.) metal

"-the movement of carbon from the nonliving environment into living things and back to the environment

-carbon is the essential component of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates (which make up all organisms)

-carbon exists in air, water, and living organisms

-producers convert carbon dioxide in the atmosphere into carbohydrates during photosynthesis

-bacteria in the atmosphere cycles through the system in filtration units

-in cellular respiration, carbon is released back into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide

-some carbon is stored in limestone (forming one of the largest "carbon sinks" on earth)

-largest carbon reservoir on earth= limestone

-carbon stored in the bodies of organisms as fat, oils, or other molecules may be released into the soil or air when the organism dies

-this may form deposits of coal, oil, or natural gas (fossil fuels, which increased the atmospheric carbon dioxide)

-fossil fuels store carbon left over from bodies of organisms that died millions of years ago

-they are located in the surface of earth, deep within the earth and beneath the ocean floor."
