Ecosystems/Abiotic and Biotic Factors

What is a Producer?

• An organism that makes its own energy.

• An organism that consumes other organisms for energy.

• An organism that decomposes organic material.

• An organism that relies on sunlight for energy only.

What is a Decomposer?

• A type of plant that produces energy through photosynthesis.

• An organism that breaks down dead plants and animals.

• A consumer that feeds on living organisms.

• A type of bacteria that causes diseases in plants.

What is the Sun's role in an ecosystem?

• The Sun is the source of all energy within an ecosystem.

• The Sun provides nutrients to the soil.

• The Sun regulates the temperature of the Earth.

• The Sun is a source of water for plants.

What is an ecosystem?

• An ecosystem is a community of living organisms interacting with their physical environment.

• An ecosystem is a type of plant that grows in water.

• An ecosystem is a collection of non-living things in a specific area.

• An ecosystem is a group of animals that live in the same habitat.

What is the relationship between producers and consumers?

• Producers create energy through photosynthesis, while consumers eat producers or other consumers for energy.

• Producers and consumers are the same; both create energy through photosynthesis.

• Consumers create energy through photosynthesis, while producers eat consumers for energy.

• Producers eat consumers to gain energy, while consumers create energy through photosynthesis.

What is an example of a food chain?

• Sun -> Grass (Producer) -> Rabbit (Primary Consumer) -> Fox (Secondary Consumer)

• Sun -> Fish (Producer) -> Bear (Primary Consumer) -> Eagle (Secondary Consumer)

• Sun -> Tree (Producer) -> Deer (Primary Consumer) -> Wolf (Secondary Consumer)

• Sun -> Algae (Producer) -> Crab (Primary Consumer) -> Shark (Secondary Consumer)

Why are producers important in an ecosystem?

• They are the primary consumers in the food chain.

• They provide energy for all other organisms in the ecosystem.

• They decompose organic matter and recycle nutrients.

• They compete with other organisms for resources.

What are biotic factors?

• Biotic factors are all living things or organisms in an ecosystem.

• Biotic factors are non-living components of an ecosystem.

• Biotic factors refer to the physical environment of an ecosystem.

• Biotic factors are the chemical substances in an ecosystem.

What are abiotic factors?

• Living organisms in an ecosystem.

• Non-living components of an ecosystem, such as water, air, and sunlight.

• Interactions between different species in an ecosystem.

• Processes that occur within living organisms.

What type of factor is sunlight?

• Biotic factor

• Abiotic factor

• Environmental factor

• Organic factor
