• Biotic Factors– The living parts of the environment

such as plants, bacteria (single cell), fungi, and animals

• Abiotic Factors

Sunday, March 24, 13

• Biotic Factors– The living parts of the environment

such as plants, bacteria (single cell), fungi, and animals

• Abiotic Factors– are non living parts of the

environment such as rocks, soil, water, air, the sun, and temperature

If you change an abiotic factor it will cause a change in a biotic factor.

Ex. Global warming causes an increase in temp (abiotic) which will effect the habitat of polar bear

(biotic). If you change a biotic factor it WILL NOT change

abiotic factors.
