​Abiotic and Biotic factors

Description. Biotic and abiotic factors are what make up ecosystems. Biotic factors are living things within an ecosystem; such as plants, animals, and bacteria, while abiotic are non-living components; such as water, soil and atmosphere.

Which of the following are reactants of photosynthesis?

• water (H₂O) and glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆)

• glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆) and carbon dioxide (CO₂)

• carbon dioxide (CO₂) and water (H₂O)

• oxygen (O₂) and water (H₂O)

Cellular Respiration

When cells take that glucose made during photosynthesis and use the energy to make ATP​

Multiple Choice

Which of the following are products of photosynthesis?

• water (H₂O) and glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆)

• glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆) and carbon dioxide (CO₂)
