The correct answer is "All of the biotic and abiotic factors in an area." An ecosystem refers to the interaction between living organisms (biotic factors) and their non-living environment (abiotic factors) in a specific area. This includes the relationships, energy flow, and nutrient cycling among plants, animals, microorganisms, water, air, soil, and other components of the ecosystem. It encompasses both living and non-living elements that influence and sustain life within a particular ecological community.Rate this question:

The term "abiotic" refers to factors or elements that are not associated with or derived from living organisms. It pertains to nonliving components of the environment, such as temperature, sunlight, water, air, and minerals. These abiotic factors play a crucial role in shaping ecosystems and influencing the distribution and abundance of living organisms. Therefore, the correct answer is "nonliving."Rate this question:

Correct Answer
B. Effect each other.Explanation
The correct answer is "effect each other" because abiotic factors, such as temperature, sunlight, and soil composition, can directly impact the distribution and behavior of biotic factors, such as plants and animals. Similarly, biotic factors, such as predation and competition for resources, can influence the abundance and diversity of abiotic factors. Therefore, there is a mutual relationship between abiotic and biotic factors in an ecosystem, where they interact and influence each other's existence and functioning.Rate this question:

A population, on the other hand, focuses on the individuals within a species and their interactions within a specific geographic area.Rate this question:
