QUIZS: Biotic and Abiotic Factors

What role do abiotic factors play in an ecosystem?

• Abiotic factors have no impact on ecosystems.

• Abiotic factors influence the living conditions and survival of organisms in an ecosystem.

• Abiotic factors only affect non-living components of the ecosystem.

• Abiotic factors are irrelevant to the food chain.

What role do biotic factors play in an ecosystem?

• Biotic factors are only responsible for the physical structure of the ecosystem.

• Biotic factors interact with each other and with abiotic factors to create a balanced ecosystem.

• Biotic factors have no significant impact on the ecosystem's health.

• Biotic factors are solely dependent on abiotic factors for survival.

What is the difference between living and non-living things in an ecosystem?

• Living things can grow, reproduce, and respond to their environment, while non-living things do not have these characteristics.

• Living things are always larger than non-living things.

• Non-living things can grow and reproduce, while living things cannot.

• Living things are found only in water, while non-living things are found on land.

How do biotic and abiotic factors interact?

• Biotic factors are independent of abiotic factors and do not require them for survival.

• Biotic factors depend on abiotic factors for survival; for example, plants (biotic) need sunlight and water (abiotic) to grow.

• Abiotic factors are only affected by biotic factors and do not influence them.

• Biotic and abiotic factors do not interact at all.
