Question

Do abiotic elements interact with biotic elements in an ecosystem?

Answer 1

Answer:

Yes, the abiotic components interact with the biotic components in an ecosystem.

Explanation:

The abiotic components are the non- living components of an ecosystem. The biotic components are the living components of an ecosystem. Abiotic factors such as sunlight, temperature etc directly affect the biotic components.

For example, the light of the sun is an abiotic component which provides energy to the biotic components, plants, to produce food. Soil is also an abiotic component which provides nutrients and water for the plants which are biotic components.

Answer 2

Abiotic and biotic factors interact in an ecosystem.

Explanation:

An ecosystem has several biotic and abiotic factors. Abiotic factors include water, sunlight, rocks , minerals etc. biotic factors include all the life forms of  the ecosystem. Abiotic factors aid the growth and development of biotic factors in an ecosystem.

The amount of sunlight, water and minerals available can directly influence the plant and animal life of an area. Biotic component scan also contribute to altering the abiotic factors like water availability.
