What is the difference between a biotic factor and an abiotic factor?

• Biotic factors include elements like weather and temperature, while abiotic factors produce carbon dioxide and oxygen.

• Biotic factors are living things and abiotic factors are non-living things.

• Biotic factors exist in an ecosystem, but abiotic factors do not.

• Biotic factors are non-living things and abiotic factors are living things.

What is an ecosystem?

• the pattern of weather that affects a particular area

• the life cycle of a plant, from seed to flower.

• all living things in a particular environment, like a forest or a desert.

• a community of organisms that interact with their environmenet

Which of the following correctly shows the cycle of biotic factors in an ecosystem?

• Bacteria produce food and oxygen; animals eat the plants, breathe the oxygen, and produce carbon dioxide; and plants break down dead animals and produce minerals.

• Plants produce food and oxygen; bacteria eat the plants, breathe the oxygen, and produce carbon dioxide; and animals break down dead plants and produce minerals that help plants grow.

• Plants produce food and oxygen; animals eat the plants, breathe the oxygen, and produce carbon dioxide; and bacteria break down dead plants and animals and produce minerals that help plants grow.

• Animals produce food and oxygen; bacteria eat the plants, breathe the oxygen, and produce carbon dioxide; and plants break down dead animals and produce minerals.

What would happen if there were no abiotic factors in an ecosystem?

• Plants would be unable to grow and produce oxygen for the animals.

• Animals would grow and flourish.

• The ecosystem would get too much rain.

• Bacteria would become the consumer instead of the decomposer.
