Question

1. What are the biotic factors of an ecosystem?

Answer 1

1) Examples of biotic factors include any animals, plants, trees, grass, bacteria, moss, or molds that you might find in an ecosystem.

2)Abiotic factors are the nonliving physical and chemical components of an ecosystem, while biotic factors are the living components of an ecosystem. Both types of factors affect reproduction and survival.

3)Water is abioitic and is needed by every living organism 
Soil is abioitic and is needed by plants 
Trees and other plants release water vapor from their leaves (a process called transpiration) that create humidity (which in turn influences how much rain falls in an area) 
The climate in an area influences the special adaptations that plants and animals have. For example: warm fur coats and thick layers of fat to keep warm in cold climates, animals in dry, hot climates (desert) have large ears to release heat and cool down. 
Biotic factors also influence abiotic factors. 
Animals produce waste (go to the bathroom) which in turn will become nutrients in the soil.

4) Plants because I can change oxygen level and affect other biotic factors by cutting off plant eating animals food supply.

5)decrease heat will affect biotic factors, like animals, warmth.

Answer 2

Answer:

1. The biotic factors of the ecosystem includes all the living organisms that sustain their life on earth. These includes animals, plants, microbes, insects and humans.

2. The abiotic factors of the ecosystem includes all the non-living factors which are necessary for the survival of the living beings such as sunlight, water, air, soil and others.

3. The biotic factor interacts with the abiotic factor by the exchange of energy and molecules. For example, plants being an abiotic factor interacts with the surrounding environment by taking carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen.

4. The biotic factor such as a group of pollinating butterflies is replaced by the invasive pests. These invasive pests will cause major destruction of the plant community in an ecosystem, and plants will not be available as a source of food for animals.

5. The soil is a abiotic factor whose pH can be changed dramatically. The pH can be lowered to  extreme acidic or highly alkaline the soil will not support plant growth.
