ABIOTIC FACTORS
In biology and ecology, abiotic components or abiotic factors are non living chemical and physical parts of the environment that affect living organisms and the functioning of the ecosystem.
EXPLANTION
Abiotic factors and the phenomenon associated with them underpin biology as a whole.An abiotic factor is a non living part of an ecosystem that shapes its environment.
Animals response to the abiotic factors.
- The animals response of different animals to various abiotic factor are: Regulate-control or maintain the rate or speed of a process so that it operates properly.
- Some organisms are able to maintain homeostasis by physiological means which ensures constant body temperature, constant osmotic concentration.
- Temperature can limit the distribution of living things. Animals faced with temperature fluctuations may respond with adaptations, such as migration, in order to survive.
- Migration, the movement from one place to another, is common in animals, including many that inhabit seasonally-cold climates.
