Factors in Ecosystem

Give an example of an abiotic factor in an ecosystem.

• Sunlight

• Soil pH

• Wind

• Rain

Name one biotic factor that can be found in a food chain.

• Decomposer

• Producer

• Abiotic factor

• Secondary consumer

What is an example of an abiotic factor that affects a food web?

• Wind

• Rain

• Soil pH

• Sunlight

Identify a biotic factor that plays a crucial role in an ecosystem.

• Living organisms

• Geological formations

• Weather patterns

• Abiotic factors

How do abiotic factors contribute to the balance of an ecosystem?

• Abiotic factors contribute to the balance of an ecosystem by promoting overpopulation of certain species.

• Abiotic factors contribute to the balance of an ecosystem by influencing the living organisms and their interactions.

• Abiotic factors contribute to the balance of an ecosystem by causing extinction of species.

• Abiotic factors contribute to the balance of an ecosystem by directly controlling the food chain.

Explain the importance of biotic factors in a food chain.

• Biotic factors are only important in aquatic ecosystems

• Biotic factors have no impact on food chains

• Biotic factors are essential in a food chain as they determine the flow of energy and nutrients, influencing the population dynamics and interactions between different species.

• Biotic factors only affect the physical environment in a food chain

List two examples of abiotic factors found in a forest ecosystem.

• Sunlight, Soil

• Wind

• Water

• Temperature

Describe the interaction between biotic factors in a food web.

• Biotic factors in a food web interact by competing for resources.

• Biotic factors in a food web interact by transferring energy and nutrients through various trophic levels.

• Biotic factors in a food web interact by influencing abiotic factors.

• Biotic factors in a food web interact by forming symbiotic relationships only.

Why are abiotic factors essential for the survival of organisms in an ecosystem?

• Abiotic factors are essential for providing resources necessary for the survival of organisms.

• Organisms can survive without abiotic factors.

• Abiotic factors are only important for non-living things.

• Abiotic factors are harmful to organisms in an ecosystem.

Discuss the relationship between biotic and abiotic factors in maintaining ecosystem stability.

• Biotic factors have no impact on ecosystem stability

• Abiotic factors solely determine ecosystem stability

• Biotic and abiotic factors interact to regulate nutrient cycles, energy flow, and population dynamics, thus maintaining ecosystem stability.

• Ecosystem stability is not influenced by interactions between biotic and abiotic factors
