Question

Which of the following is a biotic factor of the environment?

air
Temperate
flower
dirt

Answer 1

Answer is FLOWER

because biotic means living (hence bio being the Latin root of the word meaning life). Dirt isn’t living, temperature isn’t living, neither is air. The only living thing is the flower, this can also be figured out by process of elimination.

Answer 2

Dirt.

Step-by-step explanation:

Dirt is considered an abiotic factor and an biotic factor because the dirt is made up of dead organisms and dead twigs and also contains gravel. An abiotic factor is a feature of the ecosystem that is living or was once alive. Abiotic factors are nonliving things in the organisms like the gravel.
