1. Biotic factors: These are the living components of the ecosystem, including:
* Producers: Plants that make their own food through photosynthesis.
* Consumers: Animals that eat other organisms.
* Decomposers: Bacteria and fungi that break down dead organisms and waste.
2. Abiotic factors: These are the non-living components of the ecosystem, including:
* Sunlight: Provides energy for producers.
* Water: Essential for all living things.
* Temperature: Affects the rate of biological processes.
* Soil: Provides nutrients and support for plants.
* Air: Provides oxygen for breathing and carbon dioxide for photosynthesis.
These two parts are interconnected and depend on each other for survival.
