Two examples of abiotic factors are climates and certain habitats. I decided to take a selfie with the sky because it was very windy that day. Wind is an abiotic factor because it affects the ecosystem. One way it affects the ecosystem is by dispersing seeds.]]> 2019-09-02 19:42:12 UTC https://padlet.com/honey_peachxs/qvnie0vs5e10/wish/379207761 honey_peachxs https://padlet.com/honey_peachxs/qvnie0vs5e10/wish/379207782 A biotic factor is a living thing that affects the ecosystem. Two example of biotic factors are plants and animals. I decided to take a selfie with an oak tree. The oak tree is a biotic factory because it affects the ecosystem. One way it affects the ecosystem is because it's a home to many small animals such as squirrels.]]> 2019-09-02 19:42:24 UTC https://padlet.com/honey_peachxs/qvnie0vs5e10/wish/379207782 honey_peachxs https://padlet.com/honey_peachxs/qvnie0vs5e10/wish/379207947 Commensalism is a relationship between two organisms, where one benefits from the other without hurting it. Some examples of commensalism are cattle egrets and livestock, the remora fish and sharks, and the monarch butterfly and milkweeed. I decided to take a selfie with a monarch butterfly and milkweed. The monarch butterfly benefits from the milkweed by feeding on its nectar, and the milkweed benefits off of the monarch butterfly because it is pollinating it.  ]]> 2019-09-02 19:43:37 UTC https://padlet.com/honey_peachxs/qvnie0vs5e10/wish/379207947 honey_peachxs https://padlet.com/honey_peachxs/qvnie0vs5e10/wish/379208126 An ecosystem is a biological community of organisms that interact with one another and their environment.

Some examples of this are when birds migrate to the south for a warmer climate, or when monarch butterflies fly to Mexico to lay their eggs. I decided to use a selfie from when I went to Mexico. We went to Mexico to visit our family an to be in a warmer climate.]]> 2019-09-02 19:50:27 UTC https://padlet.com/honey_peachxs/qvnie0vs5e10/wish/379208640 honey_peachxs https://padlet.com/honey_peachxs/qvnie0vs5e10/wish/379208733 Secondary consumers are the consumers who eat primary consumers in order to use their energy.

Some examples of parasitism include bacteria, viruses, and fleas. I decided to take a selfie with ticks in a piece of wood. The ticks are being benefited because they are being fed, but the wood is being harmed because it is rotting.]]> 2019-09-02 19:58:21 UTC https://padlet.com/honey_peachxs/qvnie0vs5e10/wish/379209737 honey_peachxs https://padlet.com/honey_peachxs/qvnie0vs5e10/wish/379209791 Primary consumers are the consumers who eat the producers in order to use their energy.
