2. Which of these is a biotic factor?

Explanation

Biotic factors refer to living organisms or the effects that they have on an ecosystem. The options given, such as ocean, mountain, and desert, are abiotic factors as they are non-living components of the environment. Therefore, the correct answer is "None of these" as it indicates that none of the options provided are biotic factors.

Submit
3. What is a biotic factor?

Explanation

A biotic factor refers to something in an ecosystem that is living. Biotic factors include all living organisms such as plants, animals, fungi, and microorganisms that interact with each other and their environment. These living organisms play a crucial role in shaping the ecosystem through their interactions, feeding relationships, and adaptations. Biotic factors are essential components of an ecosystem and contribute to its overall functioning and biodiversity.

Submit
4. Abiotic factors are living things in an ecosystem.

Explanation

The answer is FALSE. Abiotic factors are non-living things in an ecosystem.

Submit
5. Which of these is a biotic factor?

Explanation

All of these options are biotic factors because they are all living organisms. A tree is a biotic factor because it is a living plant. A crow is a biotic factor because it is a living bird. A crocodile is a biotic factor because it is a living reptile. Therefore, all of these options are examples of biotic factors.

Submit
6. Which is a BIOTIC factor?

Explanation

A tree is a biotic factor because it is a living organism that is part of the ecosystem. Biotic factors include all living things such as plants, animals, and microorganisms that interact with each other and their environment. In this case, a tree interacts with other organisms in its ecosystem, such as providing habitat for animals, producing oxygen, and participating in nutrient cycling. The other options, a lake and the air, are abiotic factors as they are non-living components of the environment.

Submit
7. Fungus is an abiotic factor.

Explanation

Fungus is actually a biotic factor, not an abiotic factor. Biotic factors refer to living organisms or their products that directly or indirectly affect an ecosystem. Fungus is a living organism that plays a crucial role in the decomposition of organic matter and nutrient recycling in ecosystems. Therefore, it is considered a biotic factor.

Submit
8. An ABIOTIC factor can kill a BIOTIC factor.

Explanation

True. An abiotic factor, which refers to non-living physical and chemical elements in an ecosystem, can indeed have the potential to harm or even kill a biotic factor, which refers to living organisms. For example, extreme abiotic factors such as high levels of radiation, extreme temperatures, or toxic chemicals can be lethal to many forms of life within an ecosystem. In ecological terms, abiotic factors play a crucial role in shaping the survival and distribution of biotic factors within an environment.

Submit
9. Which of these is a biotic factor?

Explanation

The biotic factor among the options is the Palm tree. Biotic factors are living organisms in an ecosystem, and a palm tree is a living plant. The other options, sand and stone, are abiotic factors because they are non-living elements of the environment.

Submit
10. Check all CORRECT choices.

Explanation



The statements about ABIOTIC factors being able to grow and eat BIOTIC factors are incorrect. Abiotic factors include elements like sunlight, temperature, wind patterns, and water sources. These are physical and chemical elements that shape ecosystems but do not possess life functions such as growth, consumption, or reproduction in the biological sense.
