Answer 1

-The biotic and abiotic elements of an ecosystem interact in cycles defined by daily life, time and the seasons.

-For example, plants can affect soil chemistry or certain algae can influence water chemistry. An ideal ecosystem remains naturally balanced.

-Any disruption to the ecosystem like the removal or addition of an abiotic or biotic factor often impacts numerous aspects of the community's organization.

If you need to represent the interactions between living and nonliving factors, which option dou you think could be the best? Think that you should have biotic and abiotic elements and be able for example to introduce an invasive species to see how this relationship can be disrupted.

The correct option is D. A fish aquarium with water, rocks, living fish, and aquatic plants
