Answer 1

The correct answer is option A. "an ecosystem consists of a biological community-the physical and chemical factors-that make up its abiotic environment".

Step-by-step explanation:

An ecosystem is one of the most broad concepts used in Ecology. The definition of ecosystem does not only include the biological community of a location, but also the physical and chemical factors of the community and how they interact with each other. For instance, the rocks, the soil and the temperature that provide a proper habitat for the biological community are part of the ecosystem.

Answer 2

Option A. An ecosystem consists of a biological community-the physical and chemical factors-that make up its abiotic environment

Step-by-step explanation:

Ecosystem is sum total of biotic and abiotic factors of a geographical area. It also takes account of interaction between them. Here, all the living beings together make the biotic component of ecosystem while the physical and chemical factors makes its abiotic component. The abiotic components include temperature, soil type, rainfall pattern, light intensity etc.
