5. There are many important components of environment but
two main components exist in an ecosystem
1. Biotic
2. Abiotic
The Abiotic components of any ecosystem are the property
of an environment.
The biotic components are the life forms that occupy a
given ecosystem.
Everything that is around us it can be living or non-living
things, it includes physical, chemical and natural forces.
6. Abiotic components are the non-living
things in an ecosystem.
Every biotic components is in some way
dependent on abiotic components
7. Abiotic Components
Air :-
Air plays a vital role in recycling one of Earth's most important
substances: carbon.
Water:-
All plants and animals must have water to survive. If there was no
water there would be no life on earth.
Soil:-
It influences the distribution of plant species and provides a habitat for
a wide range of organisms.
Sun light:-
Without the Sun's heat and light, the Earth would be a lifeless ball of
ice-coated rock. so without sunlight life is impossible on earth.
Temperature:-
influences the growth of many living organisms
9. Biotic components are all the living things in an
ecosystem
There are different topic levels in the ecosystem
E.g. :- green plants, animals, microorganism
10. Types of biotic components
Biotic
components
producers
E.g.
Green plants
consumers
E.g.
animals
decomposers
E.g.
Bacteria ,
fungi
11. 1.Producers (Autotrophs)
Auto :- self , troph :- Nourishment
There are two types of producers
Photosynthesis
They use sunlight and make carbohydrates
H2O + CO2 + Sunlight C6H12O6 + O2
E.g. :- green plants ,
Chemosynthesis
They use chemical energy and make carbohydrates
CO2 + H2O + H2S + O2 CH2O + H2 SO4
E.g. :- some bacteria
