Compare and contrast abiotic and biotic factors?

Abiotic factors are non-living factors which affect the envuronment. E.g. volcanic activity or earthquakes\n\nBiotic factors, living things that affect the environment, are parasites, viruses animals etc...

Biochemistry (bones are biological) and chemistry (reaction between the molecules that make up the bone, and the vinegar and baking soda).\n\nCellular and molecular biology and microbiology don't really count, since it's you're not trying to examine how it affects individual cells.

well i am into engineering,,,,so don know much abt biology.\nU can check this website for some good info.\nwww.wikipedia.org

OH YEAH!  The abiotic things.  Community is the interaction of living species with each other, ecosystem is those interactions Plus interaction with abiotic factors (water, temperature etc).\nLet me make sure.\n\nYep Yep.  i think that's it

Here's one from Biodidac (great site for illustrations):\nhttp://biodidac.bio.uottawa.ca/Thumbnails/showimage.cfm?File_name=Aves065b&File_type=gif

Check under Science and Mathematics.\n\nthere is an Environment category.

I took this from wikipedia. It's for reference!!\n\nAn ecosystem, a contraction of "ecological" and "system", refers to the collection of components and processes that comprise, and govern the behavior of, some defined subset of the biosphere. The term is generally understood to refer to all biotic and abiotic components, and their interactions with each other, in some defined area, with no conceptual restrictions on how large or small that area can be. \nIn biology, Abiotic components are nonliving chemical and physical factors in the environment. Often, these are described as light, temperature, water, atmospheric gases, wind as well as soil (edaphic) and physiographic (nature of land surface) factors.\nThese factors could be said to be the definitions for the exact environmental conditions in which plants need to grow.\nOxygen, carbon dioxide, and nitrogen are the most commonly described gasses; and the wind, soil, and physiographic conditions can also combine in multiple ways to affect organisms.\nIn general terms an ecological system can be thought of as an assemblage of organisms (plant, animal and other living organisms—also referred to as a biotic community or biocoenosis) living together with their environment (or biotope), functioning as a loose unit. That is, a dynamic and complex whole, interacting as an "ecological unit."\n\n\nOther population ecologists, stochastists, (den Boer & Reddingius, 1996), view an ecosystem as an expression of stochastic events, and corresponding responses from organisms. Thus, ecosystems result from the sums of infinite individual responses of organisms to stimuli from non-living and living elements in the environment. The presence or absence of populations merely depends on reproductive and dispersal success and population levels fluctuate in response to stochastic (chance) events. As the number of species in an ecosystem is higher, the number of stimuli is also higher.\n\nCheck the link for more info you need. I'm not familiar with this, besides basic info but hopefully this helps.

An abiotic factor is a physical factor (nonliving)- light, water, heat, soil, air, temperature and minerals.... thats more than 5. :-)

Living things have growth and metabolic activities\nNon living does not have any growth.\n\nliving ex-> man,plants,fish,etc.\nnon living ->building,stone,car,etc.

I wasn't able to read all of your question, but flora is plant and bacteria life of a certain region and fauna is animal life of a certain region. I hope this helps.\n           December

The responses of microorganisms to growth-inhibiting salt concentrations have been studied extensively. In a number of cases, the effects of both salt and sugar stress on the accumulation of individual compatible solutes such as K+ and glycine betaine have been determined. However, only in a few studies have the osmolytes accumulated in salt-stressed cells been compared with those in sugar (nonionic)-stressed cells

Abiotic means not living - predators are living so they are a biotic factor, salt levels and temperature are not alive so they are abiotic factors
