what are the 4 things a habitat provides to organisms
space, carbon, food, matter
matter, shelter, oxygen, molecules
shelter, water, food, and space
molecules, water, shelter, matter
what is the difference between biotic and biotic matter
biotic matter is matter that makes up the nonliving parts of an ecosystem, such as air, water, rocks, and soil (NOT sunlight!); has NEVER lived while biotic is living things, or organisms
biotic matter is matter that makes up the living and dead organisms in an ecosystem while biotic is living things, or organisms
biotic matter is matter that makes up the living and dead organisms in an ecosystem while biotic is nonliving things (NEVER have lived) like rocks, soil, water, sunlight
biotic matter is the study of living things interacting with each other and their environment while biotic is living things, or organisms
what is the difference between abiotic and abiotic matter
abiotic is nonliving things (NEVER have lived) like rocks, soil, water, sunlight while abiotic matter is matter that makes up the nonliving parts of an ecosystem, such as air, water, rocks, and soil (NOT sunlight!); has NEVER lived
abiotic is living things, or organisms while abiotic matter is matter that makes up the living and dead organisms in an ecosystem
abiotic is a molecule that organisms can use to release the energy they need to survive while abiotic matter is matter that makes up the nonliving parts of an ecosystem, such as air, water, rocks, and soil (NOT sunlight!); has NEVER lived
abiotic is the tiny pieces that all matter—all the stuff in the world—is made of while abiotic matter is matter that makes up the nonliving parts of an ecosystem, such as air, water, rocks, and soil (NOT sunlight!); has NEVER lived
