Front

All the living things in an ecosystem are called ______________________ factors.

Back

Biotic factors are all the living components of an ecosystem, including plants, animals, and microorganisms.

Front

All the non-living things in an ecosystem are called ______________________ factors.

Front

Which of these biotic organisms is interacting with another biotic organism in the environment? A mole digs a tunnel in a forest meadow. A hummingbird drinks nectar from a flower. An white rabbit burrows in the snow for camouflage.

Back

A hummingbird drinks nectar from a flower. This interaction is an example of mutualism, where both organisms benefit.

Front

Is the following factor Biotic or Abiotic? Temperature

Front

What are examples of biotic factors in an ecosystem?

Back

Examples of biotic factors include plants, animals, fungi, and bacteria.

Front

What are examples of abiotic factors in an ecosystem?

Back

Examples of abiotic factors include sunlight, soil, water, and air.

Front

How do biotic and abiotic factors interact in an ecosystem?

Back

Biotic factors depend on abiotic factors for survival; for example, plants (biotic) need sunlight and water (abiotic) to grow.

Front

What role do producers play in an ecosystem?

Back

Producers, like plants, convert sunlight into energy through photosynthesis, forming the base of the food chain.

Front

What role do consumers play in an ecosystem?

Back
