Bacteria living in the soil are dependent upon which of the following abiotic factors?
A. plant root structures and oxygen content
B. soil temperature and water content
C. nitrogen content and insect activity
D. insect activity and plant root structures
Answer (3)
Bacteria living in the soil are dependent upon "b. soil temperature and water content" since temperature and water content are essential for all living forms.
The correct answer for above statement is:
** b. soil temperature and water content** ;
The correct answer is B. soil temperature and water content, as these abiotic factors are crucial for bacteria's metabolic processes and survival in soil. Soil temperature affects bacterial activity rates, while adequate water content is necessary for biological reactions. Together, they create an optimal environment for bacterial growth and function.
