Biotic and Abiotic Components of Habitat and their Interaction, The Living Organisms and their Surroundings Video Lecture - Class 6

abiotic and biotic factors an ecosystem
contains living and nonliving things the
ecosystem has many examples of the
interaction between the living and the
non-living living things in an ecosystem
are called biotic factors living things
include plants animals bacteria fungi
and more the nonliving parts of the
ecosystem are called abiotic factors
some nonliving things are sun
temperature water atmospheric gases and
soil one example of the interaction
between abiotic and biotic factors is
with plants plants use sunlight water
and co2 to make food without these
things plants would not be able to grow
another example is the interaction
between turtles and soil some turtles
are known to bury themselves in the soil
when the temperature becomes too hot
turtles seek protection in the cool
underground elephants and water interact
as well in order to stay hydrated
elephants drink water in fact all biotic
factors need water to survive fish and
temperature also show the interaction
between the living and the non-living a
fish's body temperature matches its
surroundings warm tropical waters keep
the fish's body operating at an optimal
temperature another example is Fox in
the snow when the temperature drops and
the snow starts to fall some foxes grow
a white fur coat the thick coat
insulates and keeps the Fox warm also
the color matches its surroundings an
adaptation known as camouflage lastly
bacteria and soil interact
bacteria are decomposers decomposers get
energy by recycling dead organisms back
into the ground nutrients re-enter the
soil making the ground fertile so take a
look out your window and try and
identify the interactions between
abiotic and biotic factors abiotic and
biotic vectors
