Answer:

Store Energy – When we take in more energy than we need, the body stores it as adipose tissue (fatty tissue, which we call fat).

Regulate and Signal – Lipids regulate the temperature of your body, keeping it steady, not too hot, and not too cold.

Insulate and Protect – Our bodies are padded with fat, protecting us from everyday friction.

Aid Digestion and Increase Bioavailability – When food breaks down in the gut, fat is released and combines with fat-soluble nutrients

myrzilka [38]

Answer:

<em>Yes, the abiotic components interact with the biotic components in an ecosystem.</em>

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.
