  • Understanding Ecosystem Components: Biotic & Abiotic Factors
    The two main parts of an ecosystem are:

    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.
