Explanation:

Biotic components or biotic factors, can be described as any living component that affects another organism, or shapes the ecosystem. This includes both animals that consume other organisms within their ecosystem, and the organism that is being consumed. Biotic factors also include human influence, pathogens, and disease outbreaks. Each biotic factor needs the proper amount of energy and nutrition to function day to day.

Biotic components are typically sorted into three main categories:

Producers, otherwise known as autotrophs, convert energy (through the process of photosynthesis) into food.

Consumers, otherwise known as heterotrophs, depend upon producers (and occasionally other consumers) for food.

Decomposers, otherwise known as detritivores, break down chemicals from producers and consumers (usually antibiotic) into simpler form which can be reused.

Hope it helps...

biotic components of ecosystem-

  • the component of ecosystem are broadly classified into two groups - biotic component and abiotic component.
  • biotic compononent are the living organisms of the ecosystem. they are further classified as - producers, consumers, herbivores, carnivores, omnivores, and decomposers.
  • abiotic components are the non living factors of the ecosystem. they are - soil, water,sunlight,air, water, etc.
  • nature maintains a commendable balance between both the components for the proper functioning of the ecosystem.
