ologyCOMPONENTS OF THE ECOSYSTEM. -Components of an ecosystem‚ Groups of interacting plants and animals from populations‚ and two or more populations in the same place at the same time form communities. The community forms the living‚ or biotic part of the ecosystem. Energy‚ Minerals‚ Nutrients and water from the non-living or abiotic components. 1. Inorganic substances (C‚N‚CO2‚H20 etc) incolved in material cycles. 2. Organic compounds (Proteins‚ Carbohydrates‚ lipids‚ humic substances etc.)

extinction of plants/animals‚ and much much more. The difference between biotic and abiotic factors in an animal’s habitat is that the biotic factors are living or have lived while the abiotic factors are not living‚ will not live‚ and never have. Mostly the abiotic factors would change the most in an animal’s habitat because they’re usually manmade and put there for a reason‚ which is not always environmentally friendly. The biotic factors may do little to no damage though considering one of the only

Journal 1 Biotic factors are all the living factors in an environment (Plants). While abiotic factors are all non-living factors in an environment. The three types of interactions that occur are biotic-biotic (Betta Fish eating Hornwort‚ or Fly eating leaves)‚ biotic-Abiotic (Plants-Sunlight‚ or Betta Fish- Fish Food)‚ and abiotic-abiotic (water eroding rocks‚ or sunlight heating the soil). The biotic factors I control are what seeds i plant‚ and the type of fish i buy. The abiotic factors i control

American InterContinental University 7/16/2013 Abstract In this report we will be exploring Grasslands‚ define abiotic and biotic‚ we will see where Grassland I located and see an example. We will describe the structure of Grassland: listing both the abiotic and biotic components of Grassland‚ we will be describing the function of the ecosystem. How do the abiotic and the biotic components interact in biochemical cycles? Describe both the carbon and nitrogen cycles‚ describe the disturbance and

Local Ecosystem Study: Wooglemai Aim: To investigate the biotic and abiotic features of the ecosystem‚ and observing the distribution and abundance of the plants and animals. Method: 1. Enter the quadrat with the necessary tools and equipment needed to find the information needed. 2. Commence task 1; general appearance. This includes the observing the leaf characteristics‚ topography‚ soil properties‚ climatic conditions of the time of our study‚ evidence of animals‚ exposure of the site

Prairies: Change in Ecosystem Structure and Function Introduction Stretching approximately two million acres of land‚ the North American Prairies cover a large portion of the continent. From Montana to Oklahoma to Colorado and to the provinces of Alberta‚ Manitoba‚ and Saskatchewan in Canada‚ the Great Plains‚ having moderate temperatures and suitable rainfall conditions‚ provide a valuable resource to society. Due to the expanse of land and the varying habitats within the prairies ecosystem‚ the North American

Make sure you have labelled the appropriate parts with the terms abiotic and biotic‚ and you have included at least four examples of each. You will hand this graphic organizer in with your section assignment. (2 marks) B. Choose one abiotic factor from your list. Imagine what would happen if you changed that one abiotic factor. Describe one possible

Ecosystem Components and Interactions I. Introduction An ecosystem is a complex relationship between a community of organisms and the environment that they dwell in where energy is exchanged and transformed. Ecosystem includes the biotic (living organisms)‚ the abiotic (physical and chemical factors)‚ and the interactions made between these. They continually interact with each other‚ thus making complex systems with intersecting properties wherein “everything is connected”. In ecosystem ecology
