Provide examples of how biotic and abiotic factors affect organism behavior, community

interactions, and ecosystem structure. Use the following examples in your response.

-Water availability

-Sunlight

-Symbiosis (mutualism, commensalisms, parasitism)

-Predator-prey relationships

-Water and nutrient availability, temperature, salinity, pH

-Food chains and webs.

-Species diversity

-Population density

-Algal Blooms

Solution

Abiotic factors like water, sunlight and nutrient availability can cause animal to leave the places where they live or die for insufficient water, nutrient and sunlight and vice versa.

If there is changes in pH, temperature dysfunction of cell can be noticed which ultimately lead the organism to death.

If an organism taken out from food web it can disrupt the whole food chain as well as other species.

The biotic factor like symbiosis and predator prey relationship can cause direct benefit to the population on the other hand it can harm also.
