1. scientists had identified a pattern in the moths that they thought was important. What was the pattern?
2. The classified identified several factors that could affect populations. One of those factors was abiotic. What are some abiotic factors that you think would be affecting the moth population.

1. They had predators both at night and through the day, and that they tried to hide and rest on trees but were not very hidden.

2. The chemicals released by the female moths to mate and lay eggs is an important abiotic factor in which affected the population. The more the chemical was released, the more it led to eggs being laid and reproducing.

Explanation:

step 1 ammonium can be absorbed by plants, but some is converted into nitrates which are better for plants to absorb. this is called nitrification. 2. step 2 the deer eats the plants and uses the nitrogen-containing proteins for cell growth. 3. step 3 bacteria in the soil conduct nitrogen fixation to convert nitrogen gas from the atmosphere into ammonium. 4. step 4 some of the nitrates are absorbed back into plants, but denitrification breaks down the nitrates into nitrogen gas released back into the atmosphere. 5. step 5 nitrogen is found in the urine, which gets broken down into ammonium through the process of ammonification. 6. step 6 plants absorb the ammonium and begin assimilation, the process to add the nitrogen to protein.
