sometimes i just have questions to ask on the go so i created this thread for me to ask them:

one of the exercises asked me to 'complete the table to summarise different physical abiotic factors' and has viscosity as an option, is this response acceptable?
'how much strength is required to pass through a medium'

Your answer is good, but it blurs the boundary between biotic and abiotic factors. Since this exercise is about the abiotic factors, and not about adaptation of a living thing, then I think you should concentrate on the physical properties, something like
"viscosity is the resistance to shear in a fluid"
Effects: Ants do not have lungs, they breathe directly through their exoskeleton. Viscosity can influence the passage of gases through the spiracles in an ant's body.

Omg I’m so cooked. How did I completely forget abt what viscosity was

lmao im the type of person that if you tell me something once ill always remember it
i remember the teacher saying 'dont you guys feel that walking in water feels so heavy and strong unlike walking in air? thats viscosity' and since i remember stuff i dont usually EVER refer to a textbook/notes and i think thats good bc then i can form my own responses unlike memorising a set response
i like being original lmao

Use an example to show how a change in chemical abiotic conditions has impacted on the evolution of plants and animals.

The change of pH levels of water in oceans as a direct result of climate change can hinder the evolution of marine plants and animals. Ocean acidification create conditions that eat away at the minerals used by some marine life to build their shells and skeletons. This causes psychological adaptations in the long-term causing devolution.

other than i forgot to elaborate on marine plants, does my response address the question?
