What Shapes an Ecosystem? Ecosystems are made up of: * Biotic factors- all living parts of an ecosystem (plants‚ animals‚ bacteria) * Abiotic factors- all nonliving (but natural) parts of an ecosystem (soil‚ wind‚ water) These factors together (biotic and abiotic) determine which types of organisms can live in that particular ecosystem. A habitat- the place where an organism lives- includes both biotic and abiotic factors A niche includes both the habitat of an organism and its unique

Question 1 : The distribution of organisms in a community is affected by the biotic factors and abiotic factors. Abiotic factors are the non-living components in the ecosystem such as air‚ water‚ soil‚ temperature and light intensity. Biotic factors are the living components in the ecosystem such as animals and plants. In an ecosystem‚ the living organisms live together in their non-living environment and function as a unit. This dynamic system starts with species‚ populations‚ ecosystems‚ communities

Ever since then‚ we (and they) have changed a bit to adapt to the different environments we invaded and created” (Gitig 2009). Organisms need to adapt both physiologically and anatomically in order to survive in changing environments. For example‚ Tibetans have developed genes to help them adapt to life at high elevation. While most humans would become very
