Learning Objective
I can analyze the interactions between biotic and abiotic factors in an ecosystem.
- 1
Biotic factors are the living components of an ecosystem, while abiotic factors are the non-living components.
- 2
Plants convert sunlight into chemical energy through photosynthesis, and this energy is transferred to consumers when they eat plants or other animals.
- 3
Water availability, temperature, and soil composition are abiotic factors that significantly influence the types of organisms that can survive in an ecosystem.
