Explanation:

For Question 49, the biosphere encompasses all life and non - living components on Earth. An ecosystem is a community of living organisms in conjunction with the nonliving components of their environment. A community is just the living organisms, and a population is a group of the same species. For Question 50, biotic factors are living components of an ecosystem. Fungi and animals are living, so they are biotic factors. Abiotic factors are non - living, inorganic refers to non - living chemical substances, and chemical is a broad term not specific to living entities in this context.
