The two components of an ecosystem are biotic (living) and abiotic (non-living) factors. Biotic factors include plants, animals, fungi, protists and bacteria. Abiotic factors include minerals, sunlight, air, climate and soil. An ecosystem is a community of living organisms interacting with each other and their non-living environment. Biotic factors such as plants and animals have different ecological roles as producers, consumers, and decomposers. Interactions within species are intraspecific, while those between species are interspecific.

1. What are the two
components of the
ecosystem

2. Give at least 2
examples of biotic
and abiotic.

3. What is
ecosystem?

4. ECOSYSTEM
• Is a community of living
organisms (plants, animals
and microbes) in
conjunction with the
nonliving components of
their environment (air, water
and mineral soil) interacting
as a system.

10. BIOTIC
•Living organisms
•Plants, animals, fungi,
protists and bacteria

11. BIOTIC
• Plants=producers
• Animals=consumers
• Fungi, protists and
bacteria=decomposers

12. ABIOTIC
•Non-living components
of the ecosystem
•Minerals, sunlight, air,
climate and soil.
•Abiotic are needed by
biotic to survive.

13. INTRASPECIFIC
•Interactions among
organism of the
same species.

17. INTERSPECIFIC
•Interactions among
organism of
different species.

42. TAKE A PICK!

relationships. (Manila paper)
Task 2-Short skit about biotic & abiotic.
Include the different ecological
relationships.
