Abiotic components or Abiotic factors are non-living chemical and physical parts of the environment that affect living organisms and the functioning of ecosystems. In this picture there is soil which is consider an Abiotic factor because it is made up of small particles of rock mixed with decomposed plants and animals. Plant use their roots to get water and nutrients from soil. Soil can be a big factor in which plants and animals live in a certain area.

Biotic factors are the living components of an ecosystem. They are sorted into three groups: producers or autotrophs, consumers or heterotrophs, and decomposers or detritivores. In this picture the group that is showed is producers because of the bushes/plants. An autotrophs is an autotrophic organism capable of producing complex organic compounds from simple inorganic molecules through the process of photosynthesis (using light energy) or through chemosynthesis (using chemical energy). Other examples of producers will be a Lichen or an American Beach. (etc.)

The amount of diversity between different plants, animals and other species in a given habitat at a particular time is biodiversity. In this picture you could see different kinds of plants at the same time. The reason why my picture should be consider biodiversity is because in the background there is different kinds of trees. In the front their is varieties of plants. This means that there's variation of plants in the same place.

A system that includes all living organisms (biotic factors) in an area as well as its physical environment (abiotic factors) functioning together as a unit. The ecosystem in this picture includes biotics factors such as the fish and abiotics factors like the water. This two factors function together to keep this  ecosystem working because the fish needs the water in order to survive.

Community, also called biological community, in biology, an interacting group of various species in a common location. This aquarium would be consider a community because there are a variety of fishes in the same place. Other types of communities will be forests or undergrowth plants.

A group of organisms of one species that interbreed and live in the same place at the same time is consider a population. In this picture there is the same type of species/plant. The plants are living and interbreeding at the same time at the same location.

An animal, plant, or single-celled life form. The organism in this picture would be the  geese because there are animals.Other examples of a organism will be a person, bacteria, or a tulip.

Habitat, place where an organism or a community of organisms lives, including all living and nonliving factors or conditions of the surrounding environment. In Brook-Field Zoo the Asia Gorillas live in an area with trees,food, and rocks. This is the Asia Gorillas habitat because a group of organisms live in this place with living and nonliving factors. The livings factors will be the gorillas and nonliving factors will be the rocks.

Adaptations are special features that allow a plant or animal to live in a particular place or habitat. These adaptations might make it very difficult for the plant to survive in a different place. For example, the plant in this picture is a Cactus which has adapt to an environment where rain is rare and temperature are always high. Some of its special features are that it has widespread root system that can allow them to collect water. Also the Cactus's spine is thick and fleshy allowing it to store a lot of water.

A species of animal or plant that is seriously at risk of extinction is consider an endangered species. In this picture you could see a Polar Bear that is laying down or it is tired. The reason why they are in the list in becoming extinct is because their sea ice habitat is under threat from climate change.

A tree that bears cones and evergreen needle like or scale like leaves would be consider a conifer. Conifers are of major importance as the source of softwood, and also supply resins and turpentine. The tree in my picture would be consider a conifers because it has scale like leaves. It is also a Pine Tree which is a type of conifer. Some examples, of others types of conifers would be Balsam Fir, Red Pine, Douglas Fir, Fraser Fir, White Pine, or Scotch Pine.

Human impact on the environment or anthropogenic includes changes to biophysical environments and ecosystems, biodiversity, and natural resources caused directly or indirectly by humans. The construction that is happening right now is impacting the environment because it results in polluting the air and land. Also the transportation to remove the waste has a major impact on the environment. The waste could consist in concrete, metals, glass, plastics, wood, asphalt, bricks and more.

The primary consumer is the living organism that eats the producers, which are the plants. The primary consumer in this video is the squirrel because it eats acorns out of oak trees (producer). This could also mean that all the organisms are classified as herbivores because they eat plants.

Secondary production is sometimes defined to only include consumption of primary producers carnivores consumers. The secondary consumer in this picture will be the Jackal because it eats the primary consumers. The diet of a Jackal could consist in carrion, hares, hoofed livestock, insects, and rodents. This are all primary consumers because they eat the producers. (plants)

An adaptation is a mutation, or genetic change, that helps an organism, such as a plant or animal, survive in its environment. A penguin is an example of animal adaptation because of its wings and flippers it helps them swim underwater at a speed of 15 mph in Antarctica. Penguins also have to keep their body temperature high to remain active. It also has thick skins and a lot of fat under their skin to keep warm in cold temperature.

The penguin uses its body parts, so it could adapt to the environments it lives in.

The process of breaking down organic material, such as dead plant or animal tissue, into smaller molecules that are available for use by the organisms of an ecosystem. Decomposition can  happen in leaves because earthworms or other animals break the leaves into smaller parts. The fungi can spread on the dead leaves that have fallen.

An animal that feeds on plants is called a herbivore. In this picture there is a giraffe which only eats plants. The diet of Giraffe are browsers and mainly eat leaves and buds on trees and shrubs

A Giraffe is consider a herbivore

Precipitation, which is the falling of water back to the ground after condensing in the atmosphere, occurs all over Earth and in many different forms. In this picture you could see a little bit of snow falling from the air, but encase you don't see it you could for sure see it in the ground. Precipitation come in all different forms like light drizzle, snow, sleet, and hail.

A plant (usually a tree or shrub) that sheds its leaves at the end of the growing season would be called a Deciduous Plant. In this picture there is a tree that has shred all of its leaves because of the end of the season or change of season. This usually happen in Autumn, but could happen to any tree. For example, Maple, Oak, or Birch.

An animal that requires a staple diet consisting mainly or exclusively of animal tissue through predation or scavenging. The picture that I'm showing you has a lion in the background. A lion is a type of carnivore that feeds on seven kilograms of meat per day. Some more animals that are considered Carnivores are Wolves, Tigers, or Jaguars.
