Abiotic Biotic Resources Competition

What are biotic factors?

• Non-living components of an ecosystem

• Living components of an ecosystem, including plants, animals, and microorganisms.

• Chemical substances in the environment

• Physical conditions affecting living organisms.

What is a habitat?

• A habitat is a type of animal.

• A habitat is a place where food is stored.

• A habitat is the natural environment where an organism lives, providing food, shelter, and mates.

• A habitat is a method of reproduction.

Give an example of competition between two species.

• Hawks and owls competing for the same type of food

• Lions and tigers sharing the same territory

• Fish and birds competing for insects

• Elephants and rhinos drinking from the same waterhole

What is the difference between a population and a community?

• A population is a group of individuals of the same species living in a specific area, while a community includes all the different species in that area.

• A population includes all the different species in an area, while a community is a group of individuals of the same species.

• A population refers to the total number of organisms in an ecosystem, while a community refers to the interactions between different species.

• A population is a group of organisms that can interbreed, while a community is a group of organisms that cannot interbreed.

How can pesticides affect biotic factors?

• Pesticides can increase the population of certain species, enhancing the food chain.

• Pesticides can decrease the population of certain species, affecting the food chain and ecosystem balance.

• Pesticides have no effect on biotic factors in the ecosystem.

• Pesticides can only affect abiotic factors, not biotic factors.

What is symbiosis?

• A close relationship between two different species that is always beneficial.

• A relationship between two species that can be beneficial, neutral, or harmful.

• A type of competition between two species for resources.

• A relationship where one species completely dominates the other.

How do seasonal changes affect competition between species?

• Seasonal changes have no effect on competition between species.

• Seasonal changes can alter resource availability, affecting competition dynamics between species.

• Seasonal changes only affect the reproduction rates of species.

• Seasonal changes lead to increased cooperation between species.

How do abiotic and biotic factors interact in an ecosystem?

• Abiotic factors have no effect on biotic factors.

• Biotic factors only influence other biotic factors.

• Abiotic factors influence the living conditions for biotic factors, while biotic factors can affect the abiotic environment.

• Biotic factors are completely independent of abiotic factors.

What happens when two species compete for the same resource?

• One species will always win and the other will go extinct.

• It can lead to a decrease in population for one or both species.

• Both species will thrive and increase in number.

• The competition will have no effect on either species.

What is an example of an abiotic factor affecting a biotic factor?

• Soil quality (abiotic) can affect plant growth (biotic)

• Temperature (abiotic) has no effect on animal behavior (biotic)

• Water availability (abiotic) does not influence fish populations (biotic)

• Air pollution (abiotic) improves plant health (biotic)
