Abiotic factors are *very* common. 90% of these pictures contain one.]]> 2017-10-31 00:44:01 UTC https://padlet.com/juliumax000/ykqj2ut0hiky/wish/201973145 juliumax000 https://padlet.com/juliumax000/ykqj2ut0hiky/wish/201973680 This tree is a biotic factor because it is a living part of the environment (it is composed of cells, grows, and reproduces, for example). The biotic factors are even more common than the abiotic ones. I could use literally any picture for this.]]> 2017-10-31 00:47:33 UTC https://padlet.com/juliumax000/ykqj2ut0hiky/wish/201973680 juliumax000 https://padlet.com/juliumax000/ykqj2ut0hiky/wish/201974019 There are actually two organisms in this picture: the tree and myself. We both fit the definition of organism ("An organism refers to any individual living thing that can react to stimuli, reproduce, grow, and maintain homeostasis.") because we both can reproduce, grow, respond to stimuli and such. My dad is there too. Please ignore him.]]> 2017-10-31 00:49:27 UTC https://padlet.com/juliumax000/ykqj2ut0hiky/wish/201974019 juliumax000 https://padlet.com/juliumax000/ykqj2ut0hiky/wish/201976142 This clover is an invasive species ("An invasive species is a plant, fungus, or animal species that is not native to a specific location (an introduced species), and which has a tendency to spread to a degree believed to cause damage to the environment, human economy or human health). Damage to biodiversaty qualifies as environmental damage. This clover is native to the neighbor's yard and threatens the biodiversity of weeds in our own.

The leaves are needlelike, and it does in fact bear cones. The leaves are also evergreen, so it certainly fits.]]> 2017-10-31 01:06:44 UTC https://padlet.com/juliumax000/ykqj2ut0hiky/wish/201976900 juliumax000 https://padlet.com/juliumax000/ykqj2ut0hiky/wish/201977282 See?]]> 2017-10-31 01:09:18 UTC https://padlet.com/juliumax000/ykqj2ut0hiky/wish/201977282 juliumax000 https://padlet.com/juliumax000/ykqj2ut0hiky/wish/201977900 Wind dispersed seeds are pretty self explanatory.
