Soil is an important abiotic factor in an ecosystem because:
I. Its characteristics determine, to a large extent, the vegetation in any area.
II. In the aquatic environment, the sediment characteristics often determine the type of benthic animals that can thrive there.

1. Only I
2. Only II
3. Both I and II
4. Neither I nor II

Very small animals are rarely found in polar regions because:

1. Being smaller in size makes them highly vulnerable to predation.
2. They have a larger surface area relative to their volume.
3. Small size makes long distance migration difficult.
4. Small sized animals lack insulating body layers.
