* Abiotic factors are non-living components of an ecosystem. They include things like:
* Sunlight: Energy source
* Water: Essential for life processes
* Temperature: Affects metabolic rates
* Soil: Provides nutrients and support
* Air: Contains gases necessary for respiration
* Minerals: Provide nutrients
* Cells are the fundamental building blocks of all living organisms. They are highly organized structures that carry out the basic functions of life.
Since abiotic factors are non-living, they lack the fundamental characteristics of life, including cells.
