    Biotic and Abiotic

    Uploaded by

    An ecosystem is defined as the interaction between biotic and abiotic factors. Biotic factors refer to living components such as plants, animals, and fungi. Abiotic factors are non-living components like temperature, water, and sunlight. These biotic and abiotic factors influence each other - changes in abiotic factors like water availability or temperature can affect living organisms, and vice versa.

    Biotic and Abiotic

    factors in the
    Ecosystem
    • Level of organization is used to show how
    organisms interact with each other & their
    environment
    • Abiotic factors = non-living components that affect living
    organisms
    • Ex. Temperature, sunlight, rocks

    • Biotic Factors = all living things or their materials that directly


    or indirectly affect organisms in its environment (includes
    interactions)
    • Ex. Plants, animals, fungi, bacteria
    biotic
    • A(n) ___________ factor is a living (or once living)
    component of an ecosystem.

    • A(n) ___________
    abiotic factor is a non-living component of an
    ecosystem.
    • An ecosystem is the interaction betweenbiotic

    • Do these abiotic factors affect the biotic parts of an
    ecosystem? How?
    If there is no water…can anything grow or
    survive?
    No!

    If it is extremely cold one winter, will that


    affect whether an animal makes it?
    No!

    So, abiotic and biotic DO affect each other. Even


    though water and temperature aren’t living things,
    they DO affect living things!

    • What abiotic factors are important for a plant to grow?
    • Provides warmth to living organisms
    • Provides solar energy (light) for green plants to make
    their own food
    • The number of hours of daylight triggers seasonal events,
    such as:
    -plants flowering
    -birds migrating
    • Important for life processes of all living things (plants
    and animals) such as:
    -distributing food particles through their bodies
    -digesting food
    • Important for organisms
    that live under water, such as:
    -trout
    -whales
    -algae
    • Provides oxygen (O2), which animals breathe

    • Provides carbon dioxide (CO2) for plants to use to make


    their own food
    • Provides a home for many animals that live underground
    -earthworms

    • Provides nutrients for plants

    • Plants grow in soil
