Things that make up an environment?

Answer 1

Pretty much anything you can point to that has a physical presence. So, the physical environment of a plant, for example, includes other plant roots and leaves that are shading it or taking nutrients from it (this would be part of the biotic environment, which would also include all the living components of the environment) as well as all the soil, nutrients, water, rocks, etc. that it encounters (these nonliving things are the abiotic environment). Other things like the slope of the land that the plant is on, whether that slope is north facing or facing another direction, whether there is wind or something that blocks the wind: all these are also part of the physical environment. In fact, for living things, I can't really think of what part of the environment they are in would NOT be considered part of the physical environment. I think the better distinction is biotic (living) and abiotic (non-living) aspects of the environment.

Answer 2

Answer 4

An ecosystem is made up of abiotic (non living) and biotic (living) factors. The abiotic factors determine what flora and fauna can live in an ecosystem.

There are also the different producers in an ecosystem. A primary producer is phytoplankton. The primary consumer eats the primary producer.

The flow of energy is important.
