b) biotic
c) chemical
d) inorganic
question 41: soil, air, and light are examples of ____ components of an ecosystem.
a) abiotic
b) biotic
c) living
d) community

Explanation:

Biotic components are living organisms in an ecosystem. Plants, animals, and fungi are living, so they are biotic. Abiotic components are non - living like soil, air, and light. Chemical and inorganic don't specifically categorize living things in an ecosystem context as accurately as biotic. For soil, air, and light, they are non - living parts of the ecosystem, thus abiotic. Living refers to biotic which they are not, and community refers to a group of populations of different species, not these non - living elements.

Answer:

Question 40: B. biotic
Question 41: A. abiotic
