Question

1. which is an example of an abiotic factor interacting with a biotic factor in an ecosystem? a. a plant uses sunlight to perform photosynthesis. b. a bee pollinates a flower when it gathers nectar. c. a grizzly bear catches and eats a migrating salmon. d. the sun melts an icicle into a puddle of liquid water. explain your reasoning:

Explanation:

Abiotic factors are non - living (e.g., sunlight), biotic are living (e.g., plants). Option A: Plant (biotic) uses sunlight (abiotic) for photosynthesis. Option B: Both bee and flower are biotic. Option C: Both bear and salmon are biotic. Option D: Both Sun (abiotic) and icicle (abiotic) are non - living. So A shows abiotic - biotic interaction.

Answer:

A. A plant uses sunlight to perform photosynthesis.
