Question

Describe various components of ecosystem separately

Answer 1

Answer:

All ecosystems consist of two major components—biotic and abiotic. The biotic component is comprised the living organisms, whereas the abiotic component includes the physical (non-living) environment. But, both of these components interact very closely to exhibit a definite structural organization.

Answer 2

All ecosystems consist of two major components—biotic and abiotic.

Abiotic components:

Abiotic components of an ecosystem consist of the nonorganic aspects of the environment that determine what life forms can thrive. Examples of abiotic components are temperature, average humidity, topography and natural disturbances.

Biotic Components:

The biotic components of an ecosystem are the life forms that inhabit it. The life forms of an ecosystem aid in the transfer and cycle of energy. They are grouped in terms of the means they use to get energy. Producers such as plants produce their own energy without consuming other life forms; plants gain their energy from conducting photosynthesis via sunlight. Consumers exist on the next level of the food chain.
