Ecosystem Interactions and Components

The video explains how living organisms interact with each other and with non-living elements in an ecosystem. It introduces the concepts of biotic and abiotic factors, providing examples of each. The video also discusses the interactions between living organisms, such as caterpillars and leaves, and between living organisms and non-living elements like water and sunlight. These interactions form the basis of ecosystems.

• By swimming in water

What is an example of an interaction between living organisms in an ecosystem?

• Air temperature affecting water

• Sunlight warming the soil

• A rock being eroded by water

• A fox interacting with a plant

Which non-living component do organisms interact with for photosynthesis?

• Soil

• Rocks

• Air
