What is a living environmental factor?
Living factors also known as biotic factors are components in the environment that affect living organisms such as prey and food. [they affect the organism's existence, prey hunt on them and they need food to survive] Non living factors also known as abiotic factors are non living components in the environment such as temperature, light. [changes in temperature and light affect organisms] United Nations Farms
Which minor layer of the atmosphere protects us from ultraviolet light?
Ozone layer protects us from the harmful effects of radiation. In absence of ozone there would be big problems to all living organisms. Ozone is denoted by O3 .
Difference between biotic and abiotic components?

The ultimate source of energy for living things is and why?
The ultimate source for living thins is the sun. This is because the sun provides things on the absolute bottom of the food chain with food. They are then used as food for the next living thing on the food chain. Things on the bottom of the food chain are called producers. They perform photosynthesis to convert the suns light into useable energy. Organisms the can create their own food are called autotrophs.

What are the effects of light on distribution and abundance of living organisms?
Light affects the abundance and distribution of living organisms through its affect on primary producers. Plants depend on light. The more plant life is available, the more animal life the biome can support.
The primary source of energy for living organisms?
the ultimate source of energy for all living organisms is the sun
How do non living things affect the organisms?
Abiotic factors (non-living things) affect organisms in many ways. Water, light, gases, temperature and salinity are all non living things but all contibute in the functioning of organisms.
